Connecting Sentry and PagerDuty is a great way to make sure important issues don’t get stuck in backlog purgatory. But sometimes there’s a drop-everything critical issue that can’t wait for a sprint planning meeting. That’s why we’re extending our PagerDuty integration to support Metric Alerts.

There’s no “i” in Teams…but there are two “i’s” in “PagerDuty for Microsoft Teams Meetings.” Sometimes a face-to-face meeting—or its digital equivalent, the video conference—is exactly what’s needed to solve a digital incident that’s constantly evolving. The ability to get key stakeholders together in a single video meeting to discuss an incident can speed up valuable response time and save potential lost revenue.

In 2020, your company is no longer digital-first, you’re very likely digital-only. To your customers, the digital experience is the only experience, and if it isn’t satisfactory they’re going to move on. That puts an increasing amount of pressure on customer service teams.

We are excited to announce PagerDuty’s flexible, one-touch integration with Zoom Video Communications. The integration gives users the ability to create Zoom meetings directly within PagerDuty so teams can instantly assemble face-to-face, share incident details in real time, and orchestrate comprehensive incident response.

DevOps and SRE teams are under intense pressure to reduce the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) in resolving incidents. With the proliferation of cloud services and the increasing complexity of DevOps toolchains, engineers today need to not only learn how to use these services but also troubleshoot them when an incident is raised at 2 AM. Incident response is still manual today – cobbling together runbooks and ad hoc scripts and orchestrating people to respond.

Today is a great day for PagerDuty customers, practitioners, partners, and employees as we’ve entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rundeck, a Californian start-up that’s a leader and innovator in DevOps automation. Before I get into the technicalities of what our solutions can do together, let me first set the scene on why we decided to do this, now.

Read on to learn more about our new plan options, find out what’s best for your team’s needs, and see how PagerDuty can grow with you.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly complex and often distributed technology environments posed a challenge for software-driven enterprises. Now, the global health catastrophe has accelerated digital transformation timelines and forced a complete shift to digital interactions between enterprises and customers, as well as internally between teams and coworkers. What IT professionals have accomplished in the past 6 months is nothing short of astounding.

xMatters provides flexible, smart tools for incident response and management. With configurable workflows that bring together data from sources like Github, Jenkins, and Zendesk, you can automate crucial tasks and send enriched notifications to streamline team communications.

This is the second in a two-part blog series about AIOps where I sit down with Julian Dunn, Director of Product Marketing at PagerDuty, to level-set on the hot DevOps topic. The first post discussed whether AIOps was just marketing fluff and whether ITOps actually has an AIOps problem. Let’s continue…
