The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Incident Management, On-Call, Incident Response and related technologies.
A Recap of 2025
In the past, our yearly recaps were mostly about numbers. What we shipped, how much Spike grew, and a long list of stats. See past recaps: 2023, 2024. But 2025 felt different to me. It had many moments that shaped how Spike as a product and the company looks today. Some of them were exciting. Some were uncomfortable, and all of them changed how I think about building Spike.

Blameless Postmortem: Foundation of Site Reliability
When systems fail, the instinct to find someone to blame runs deep. But what if assigning fault actually makes your systems less reliable? A blameless postmortem culture transforms how teams learn from incidents, creating stronger systems and more effective incident response processes.
Runbooks are history: Why agentic AI will redefine incident response forever
If you’re an SRE, platform engineer, or on-call responder, you don’t need another article explaining incident pain. You feel it every time your phone lights up in the middle of the night. You already know the pattern: You’ve invested in runbooks, automation, observability, and “best practices,” yet incident response still feels like firefighting. Now imagine the same midnight page, but with AI SRE in place: What once took hours is now finished in a couple of minutes.
