The Grafana OnCall mobile app is an essential tool for on-call engineers to monitor and respond to critical system events. Available for both iOS and Android, the app offers a range of features and notification settings that make the on-call experience easier and more intuitive — all in the palm of your hand.

The launch of On-call was an integral part of the incident.io mission to become the single place you turn when things go wrong, and recently we hosted a live virtual event to show how it all came together. In this event, incident.io Co-founder and CTO Pete Hamilton sat down with incident.io Product Manager Megan McDonald, Product Engineer Rory Bain, and fellow Co-founder and CPO Chris Evans to demo the product, discuss the journey of the creation, and expand on what’s next.

For the last 12 months, our team has concentrated on elevating product features by integrating generative AI. By seamlessly weaving AI into the fabric of the service, we have enhanced the efficiency and responsiveness of incident management processes and pioneered a new approach to handling crises.

For someone experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis, receiving timely access to care is critical. Recognizing a growing need for behavioral health intervention, San Diego County launched its Telecare Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) to provide no-cost, in-person support. “With mental health crises on the rise, counties are trying to figure out how to implement something that supports folks in the community,” said Bre Lane, Program Administrator at MCRT.

Traditional database design prioritizes data integrity through normalization. However, for read-heavy workloads, normalized data structures can lead to complex queries and slower performance. Denormalization offers an alternative approach to optimize query execution and improve efficiency. A study concluded that denormalization can improve query performance when implemented with a thorough understanding of application requirements.

Context is fundamental to well-run tech operations, which require an understanding of systems, services, architectures, and teams to interpret the real-time data streaming in from observability and change systems. The delivery of context is crucial for effective operations performance. And it’s a universally important skill set for tech Ops teams to master.

The teams that keep IT services running all share one thing: a need for data and knowledge that spans their systems and tools. Yet, they often lack the vital cross-system context necessary to analyze and collaborate effectively to remediate incidents quickly. BigPanda is proud to announce new features and capabilities that enable you to leverage historical incident records and institutional knowledge.

Imagine this scenario: Imagine this scenario: You are a user of an online service, and suddenly you encounter a technical glitch. You head to the status page for updates, expecting clear information about the issue. However, you are met with vague or unstructured updates, leaving you uncertain about the severity and resolution timeline of the problem.
