Today, we'll discuss why blameless postmortems are so important and their implications for your team; the second part will go into detail on how to set them up as a process and make them successful. Somebody wise may have once told you that how we handle adversity shows our character.

Let’s face it. Incidents can be expensive—really expensive. But the high cost of incidents within a production environment isn’t always due to a compromised service or negative customer experience.
SIGNL4 is a cloud-based mobile alerting and incident response service. Third-party systems like monitoring tools, control systems or IoT sensors detect abnormalities and transmit events to SIGNL4 over the Internet. What if your systems cannot transmit critical events anymore? That might happen when the Internet is down or when the tool itself has a problem. In this case, SIGNL4 would miss critical events and could not turn them into alert notifications to your IT admins, technicians and experts.
