honeycomb -- wide event for checkout service
{
"_comment": "Demo wide event for Honeycomb — illustrating exponential value of context. 250 dimensions across request, user, org, infra, db, cache, trace, feature flags, performance, business, security, and experiment contexts. Any two fields can be combined. With 250 fields, that's 250*249/2 = 31,125 possible 2-way combinations — and combinatorial explosion beyond that.",
