Update users in the usergroup automatically with the oncall status and begin tagging with @sre-oncall. This can be integrated with your own custom rotation or the Pagerduty/OpsGenie schedule.

Imagine this: You’ve just been offered a new job in tech. Maybe it’s your first job right out of college, and you’ve only heard of being on-call in passing conversations up until this point. Or, perhaps you’ve been in tech your whole life but never had to be on-call until today. Or, maybe you’re contemplating whether on-call is for you because your company is dangling some extra cash (because, who doesn’t like extra money!).

Synchronizing Jira, Jira Service Management (JSM), and Slack bidirectionally is complex due to differing data structures, permissions, and update frequencies, affecting real-time responsiveness and data consistency. Robust API integration and meticulous permission management are crucial for ensuring reliable synchronisation and secure data exchange, essential for effective cross-platform collaboration and efficiency. ‍

IT complexity expands every year, nudging up the possibility of unforeseen consequences, such as outages and other disruptions to operations. Runbooks are a great way to ensure your team knows exactly what to do when incidents arise.

The world population in 2024 is approximately 8.12 billion people. Of these, 4.3 billion people use Google regularly, while 3.74 billion are active users on Meta's platforms. Any disturbance involving these tech giants will surely make headlines, as seen in the recent Google’s Unisuper incident. The scale of these tech companies brings fascinating challenges in every aspect of their operations, including incident response.

Whenever a new customer joins incident.io, we make notes on what made them chose to buy our product and, if we were in a competitive process, why they chose us over other providers they were evaluating. It’s a lot of messy data and raw notes, but contained within is a veritable treasure trove of customer feedback. Summarising large amounts of data? Sounds like the perfect job for an LLM.

Businesses are constantly on the lookout for ways to optimize operations, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition. One of the most effective strategies for achieving these goals is adopting open-source software (OSS). Open-source tools offer a myriad of benefits, from cost savings to enhanced flexibility and innovation. However, transitioning to an open-source environment can be daunting without a clear roadmap.

The complexity of modern IT environments and the volume of data they produce have increased by orders of magnitude. According to predictions from UBS, the data universe will grow by more than a factor of 10 — reaching 660 zettabytes — from 2020 to 2030. This explosive growth exceeds the abilities of legacy event-management tools and human operators. AIOps augments human activities within IT operations using AI, data, and machine learning.
