So the dumpster is on fire. Again. The site’s down. Your boss’s face is an ever-deepening purple. And you begin debating whether you should join the #incident channel or call an ambulance to deal with his impending stroke. Firefighters have clear procedures and a strong hierarchy. The first truck at a scene immediately begins assessing the situation.

Learn how Event Intelligence, the next-gen approach to Event Management and AIOps, helps teams to cut through the noise and operate at scale. This introductory session will walk through key best practices and requirements such as reducing noise via adaptive machine learning, accelerating triage via integrating machine data with human response, and much more.

Atlassian’s mission is to unleash the potential of every team. Atlassian’s newest product, Jira Ops, is built on top of Jira with a direct connection to PagerDuty to ensure teams can be successful and respond quickly when things break. This session will cover how PagerDuty and JiraOps work together to help teams respond to incidents, quickly and in real-time.

IT Operations telemetry has always focused on the health of servers, applications, and technical services...but what really drives the quality of all these things are the people behind them. Companies must understand employee health in order to retain and attract talent that keeps systems running at peak performance.

One way to break the cycle of alert fatigue is by improving the quality of the signals you monitor. That can mean greater resolution at which monitoring data is ingested and processed, smarter statistical methods for aggregating and correlating data across multiple services, or routing alerts through an escalation and incident management system.

Chaos engineering is here to stay. There's a thriving community, numerous open source projects, a few books, even a startup. Companies are hiring chaos engineers and creating entire teams focused on chaos engineering. This talk is about strategies for launching a chaos engineering movement at your company, as well as the challenges and results you can expect.

Incidents are never fun, but a bad incident response process makes them even less so. How do technical teams mobilize the right people and provide the right context and tooling to rapidly take action and drive incident resolution? With the clock ticking and up to millions of dollars lost per minute of downtime, there’s no time to waste in assembling the right experts.

Unless you spent the last few years on a remote deserted island, you might have noticed some changes in how work gets done at your company. Whether you call it Digital Transformation, DevOps, or Digi-DevOps-ification, it reaches far beyond just your Development and Operations teams.

At PagerDuty, reliability is at the heart of everything that we do. But in order to deliver continuous availability, drive a maniacal focus on customer needs with faster innovation, and support exponentially growing scale, over the years we've had to make significant investments and changes in how we develop and operate products.
