In September 2025, dozens of popular JavaScript packages, like chalk and debug, were compromised on the npm registry. These packages are so ubiquitous they end up in everything: front-end apps, back-end microservices, and CI tooling.

Mar 21, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike
When an incident triggers, the question is not just what broke but also how urgent it is and who on your team needs to respond. Alert Routing rules answer those questions automatically. You define the conditions once and the right response follows every time an incident triggers.
