In a previous post, we discussed initiating your AIOps journey. Now, we’re exploring best practices for progressing through each phase of the maturity journey. In these posts, we’ll focus on how to get started, proven techniques, key participants, and how to measure success.

Lately, I have been thinking about the mental health effects that stem from working in the cybersecurity industry. And in my research, I came across an Afternoon Cyber Tea podcast that sparked my interest. During their talk, host Ann Johnson and Dr. Ryan Louie, MD, PhD, dissect parallels between those who work in cybersecurity and those who work in healthcare, and uncover how these types of jobs affect mental health.

82% of organizations plan to increase their use of Service Level Objectives (SLOs), with 95% reporting that SLO adoption drives better business decisions, according to the Nobl9 2023 State of SLOs report.

A significant part of being on-call is the ability to respond to pages and handle escalations on the go. In the early stages of developing incident.io On-call, we considered whether a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) could rely solely on SMS and phone calls. However, we quickly realized that a fully featured mobile app was going to be essential to the on-call experience. This led us to the question: how should we build this mobile app?
