Live Call Routing - Getting started

Live Call Routing is a direct line that connects incoming calls to on-call engineers. It captures human-reported incidents that monitoring tools might miss—closing the loop between automated alerts and real-world observations so nothing falls through the cracks. It helps you respond to critical incidents faster by eliminating manual call routing, reducing response times from minutes to seconds.

Introducing Live Call Routing for Incident Response

Today, we are introducing Live Call Routing, a direct phone line that connects incoming calls to on-call engineers. It captures human-reported incidents that monitoring tools might miss—closing the loop between automated alerts and real-world observations so nothing falls through the cracks. It helps you respond to critical incidents faster by eliminating manual call routing, reducing response times from minutes to seconds.

Jaeger Metrics: Internal Operations and Service Performance Monitoring

You're monitoring a microservices-based system. Alerts trigger when response times exceed 2 seconds. But when you open Jaeger, you're faced with thousands of traces. Identifying which service or operation is responsible becomes time-consuming. Jaeger metrics help reduce this friction by exposing aggregated telemetry. Instead of scanning individual traces, you get service-level and operation-level performance metrics, latency, throughput, and error rates that highlight where the issue lies.
