A global leader in SaaS-based and on-premise software solutions that power innovative digital experiences was looking to replace the internal tool that was being used for resolving outages, service degradation, data center connection loss, and other incidents.

SRE is a constantly evolving field, responding to the challenges of increasing reliance on tech and the opportunities of its evolving abilities. Reliability has to remain a step ahead of the cutting edge, whether it’s navigating remote work, implementing AI assistance, or optimizing internal processes. But how do we know that SRE is keeping up? ‍ We’re proud and excited to announce the results of the SRE Survey we ran in partnership with Catchpoint.

Last week we launched a number of features across the PagerDuty Operations Cloud portfolio to help teams minimize downtime and protect customer experience. One of the areas where PagerDuty continues to invest is collaboration and communication during incident response to ensure that all impacted stakeholders across the business are updated in real-time.

Engineering teams use a lot of single-domain monitoring tools. In fact, the average team manages and maintains 16 monitoring tools — and up to 40 — according to Moogsoft’s State of Availability Report. While IT leaders select and implement these tools to save teams time, our research finds they do quite the opposite. Engineers spend far and away more time on monitoring than they do on any other task — innovative, value-creating tasks included.

Do you remember the classic board game where you have to go back and forth with your opponent deducing which characters on the board you’ve each selected? It’s still played by children today, and unfortunately by healthcare teams as well. Every day, healthcare teams are forced to play a game of “Guess Who?” is on-call if they do not have systems in place for role-based messaging.

Most well established data teams have a clear remit and a well defined structured for what they work on and when: from the scope of their role (from engineer to analyst) to which part of the business they work with. At incident.io, we have a 2 person data team (soon to be 3) with both of us being Product Analysts.

Let's be honest, nobody loves surveys. Ok, well I sure don't. But surveys satisfy a huge need in our demand for insights into complex human-computer, sociotechnical systems. It turns out that we've been measuring the computer part pretty well, but the humans – not as easy to keep track of. When Google SRE first defined toil as a metric we wanted to reduce, we spent far too long trying to quantify it numerically based on tooling and insights from computer systems.
