v0.6.2 is released! Need HTTP endpoint monitoring? The new guide by @wmnnd describes how to set up serverless HTTP(S) monitoring!

Imagine you’re the manager for the IT Operations for a multimillion-dollar retail chain. The chain not only has numerous stores throughout the U.S. but also a robust online presence. Now imagine that you need to conduct security and software updates on the company’s servers. The update will end up disrupting store services for 30 minutes after the work day.

Whether there’s a crisis or scheduled maintenance on your servers, you need to keep your customers informed during these down times. Instead of using multiple tools in your crisis management process, your IT team can use one platform. Status pages can solve multiple issues in one location instead of using your web page, email, phone and ticket system to notify customers. This also helps to let them know about maintenance updates before they happen.

Nobody likes an unavailable website. But if you must take your site offline, a clear and well-designed maintenance page can turn around a bad experience.

SAN FRANCISCO – April 17, 2018 – PagerDuty, the global leader in Digital Operations Management, today announced its continued momentum into enterprise and the business growth achieved over the last several quarters.

Many organizations seem to be suffering from alert fatigue. In a recent EMA report, according to Infosecurity, 80% of organizations that receive 500 or more severe/critical alerts per day, happen to investigate less than 1% of them. A shocking number to say the least! But what are the obstacles organizations are facing that allows such neglect?

It takes a village to respond to and resolve incidents. But the teams involved in incident response often work in silos: SREs and devs are heads down fixing the problem, support is flooded with emails/tickets, and marketing/PR may be putting out fires on Twitter. Even if there’s some communication happening over chat or across desks, there’s typically room for improvement with getting these teams to work together when it matters most.
