We’re excited to announce a new set of updates and enhancements to the PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Recent development and app updates from the product team include PagerDuty® Process Automation, our Partner Integrations and App Ecosystem, as well as Community & Advocacy Events updates. We continue to help customers automate everywhere to optimize cloud operations and reduce the amount of issues escalated to other teams.

Service ownership, a DevOps best practice, is a method that many companies are pivoting towards. The benefits of service ownership are varied and include boons such as bringing development teams much closer to their customers, the business, and the value being delivered. The “build it, own it model” has tangible effects on customer experience, as developers are incentivized to innovate and drive customer-facing features that delight.

In today’s digital world, organizations are constantly undergoing change. They’re moving to the cloud and rolling out DevOps at scale—all in the name of driving innovation. But moving from a monolith to microservices can lead to applications becoming increasingly distributed. When problems arise, customers don’t care how many teams and services you have, or how complex your architecture is. They only care that your services work when they need them to.

PagerDuty has an Early Warning System (EWS) model which helps the Customer Success and Sales departments ascertain the wellness of existing PagerDuty customers based on product usage and external business factors. This Early Warning System model has become critical infrastructure and the first line of defense in identifying poor product usage that could result in account churn.

What is one of the first things you should do when you are assigned an incident via PagerDuty? If you immediately thought “Acknowledge!” you are not wrong, but after that, it’s all about resolving the issue as quickly and painlessly as possible. The first step to resolution is to investigate what caused the incident in the first place so you can easily get a fix in place.

Every year there is a surprise in a Radar report. While it won’t be a surprise to our thousands of customers who are seeing tremendous benefits with us, PagerDuty is excited to be named a Leader in the 2022 GigaOm Radar for AIOps Solutions. GigaOm uses extensive criteria to evaluate vendors in their Radar.
