This is Opsgenie’s first Summit as an official part of the Atlassian team, and there are lots of exciting announcements and product enhancements to share.

Dealing with IT outages and downtime is one of the biggest technical challenges of the modern era, costing North American businesses an estimated $700 billion per year. Today's world of interconnected cloud services and microservice architectures has created infinitely more opportunities for something to go wrong and disrupt service.

It is 5 a.m. Tuesday. The ETL job that populates revenue data into your organization’s data warehouse fails midway through the process. When the CFO opens the mobile dashboard to review the last day’s results, he immediately notices that the data is wrong – again.
