Honeycomb Beeline for Ruby

⚠️Note: Beelines are Honeycomb's legacy instrumentation libraries. We embrace OpenTelemetry as the effective way to instrument applications. For any new observability efforts, we recommend instrumenting with OpenTelemetry.

This package makes it easy to instrument your Ruby web app to send useful events to Honeycomb, a service for debugging your software in production.
