When incidents occur, the key to a fast resolution is seamless communication. Traditionally, folks would gather in a “war room” – a room with four walls that served as a gathering place for various teams to solve high-impact problems. As incident management modernizes, teams are more dispersed, and therefore need a higher-tech way to assemble. Opsgenie developed the Incident Command Center (ICC) with exactly this in mind.
At Codefresh we are all about collaboration and reusing existing standards instead of implementing proprietary solutions. A Codefresh pipeline is based on a series of Docker containers that act as individual steps. All Codefresh plugins are also just Docker images which means that extending a Codefresh pipeline is the same thing as writing a Dockerfile. Github has recently announced an integrated automation solution called Actions.
Real-time collaboration helps teams resolve issues quickly, which is crucial during outages when you don’t have a minute to lose. If your organization is using DingTalk, Alibaba’s platform for cross-team communication and collaboration, Datadog’s new integration lets you share and discuss annotated graphs on the fly and route alerts to your teams’ group chats so you can start troubleshooting issues without skipping a beat.
