Sometimes, when building Runbooks in Orchestrator, it can feel like you’ve hit a dead end with no way to achieve the functionality or automation you require. For newer users, Orchestrator can be daunting because it is a completely blank canvas; there are no sample runbooks included or out-of-the-box automations. In addition, with a shift in focus to cloud automation, there is limited guidance and ‘how to’ advice available to help users.

Welcome to the first Signals Captain’s Log! My name is Robert, and I’m a recovering on-call engineer and the CEO of FireHydrant. When we started our journey of building Signals, a viable replacement for PagerDuty, OpsGenie, etc, we decided very early that we would tell everyone what makes Signals unique, and what better way than to tell you how we’re building it (without revealing too much 😉).

It was a process of continual adaptation without a roadmap — which, though well-intentioned, began to result in unforeseen challenges.

What’s important when building a new business? A good idea is vital, obviously, plus the right people, hard work, experienced investors, and so on. Building trust is important, but probably far down the list. It’s not that trust isn’t important, it’s just likely to be put aside while working on tasks that are perceived as more time-sensitive or of a higher priority, especially those which directly and noticeably impact the bottom line.

Docker is a platform as a service for deploying applications in Docker containers. Containers are software "packages" that bundle together an application's source code with its libraries, configurations, and dependencies, helping software run more consistently and reliably on different machines. To start using Docker containers, you need to be familiar with Docker networking. Below, we'll answer the question: "What is a Docker network host?".
