When an issue happens in your software in production, the channel to send the alert on depends on multiple factors. If it's a critical issue requiring immediate attention, you should alert the team member via phone call.

This is where other channels like SMS, Slack and mobile push notifications come in.

The saying “knowledge is power” may be a cliché, but the truth of it holds strong, especially as it relates to IT systems and processes.

It can be difficult to track down memory leaks, especially when deploying apps on cloud-based application services. Often teams are left with restarting their apps as the only—and less than ideal—recourse to get them back up and running.

There are a couple of different options available to do so.

Imagine you have a hole in your car's tire. To fix it quickly and get on your way, you apply a patch. Then it happens again. You apply another patch. Before you know it, you're driving on the highway and you blow a tire. The risk was always there. You were simply hiding it because you didn't solve the problem. We see this often when it comes to IT issues. Teams take a band-aid approach to fixing problems without addressing the underlying causes.
