Our social resurgence: activating our social media presence to revamp Incident Management

Over the past year, Spike.sh social media activity has been null. As a bunch of shy nerds in a small team working remotely across the world, we really never bothered with social media and our presence on it. We always kept our heads low and maneuvered around it.

The fastest and most robust path to incident declaration from monitoring tools

Here’s a crazy question: why do we still require a human to manually declare an incident for the things that we know are incidents? If we have enough confidence to build SLOs and high-severity alert routes for these specific scenarios, why are we still asking a human to confirm it’s an incident and get the assembly process in motion? Isn’t that just another button to push when we could be problem solving instead?

Configuring Azure Logic App Failure Alerts To Stay Ahead
