Code Refactoring and why you should refactor your code

Especially if you have a tight deadline. So aside from features, you also produce bugs, code smells, and technical debt.

incident.io Catalog hands on lab

The incident.io Catalog is a connected, navigable, map of "things" that exist in your organization. We can use it to describe an organization as a connected graph, and use that graph to drive powerful workflow automations during incidents. In this hands-on training session, we'll work through an example of building a catalog for a mock organization. We'll then use the catalog to solve some real business problems, including automated incident data attribution, and some realistic workflows which outline how it works and what it enables in the context of incident management.
