How to migrate your paging tool without breaking your team

Most engineering teams don’t migrate their on-call and paging systems unless absolutely necessary. No matter how painful their current solution, it's one of those changes that people put off for as long as possible because the cost is real. The disruption, the retraining, the risk of missing a critical page during the transition. It's not something you do on a whim.

How Catalog changes the game for long-term maintenance

Every incident platform needs to know who owns what. Which team owns which service. Which backlog to send follow-ups to. Which escalation path to page when something breaks. The problem is that most platforms encode this ownership logic separately in every configuration: alert routing, workflows, ITSM ticket syncing, and more. Each one maintains its own copy of the same information, in its own format.

Beyond the pager: what to do when Opsgenie sunsets

OpsGenie is going away in 2027, forcing a migration decision for thousands of teams. But this isn't just a tooling swap — it's a rare chance to upgrade how you respond to incidents. Because the real pain in incident response isn’t paging. It’s everything that happens after the alert: coordination, clarity, communication, ownership, and follow-through. Most teams solve this through heroics and tool-juggling across chat, tickets, and docs. That approach doesn't scale.

Win by Being Bold

Everyone your sales team is reaching out to is drowning in emails. The way to cut through isn't to send more of them. It's to get personal, get creative, and get bold. That's the philosophy baked into incident.io's sales culture: experiment constantly, celebrate the inputs as much as the wins, and never play it safe. This video gives you a real look at what it's like to be part of a sales team at one of the most exciting startups right now. There are many more wins to come, and we want the right people here for them.

The post-mortem problem

Post-mortems are one of the most consistently underperforming rituals in software engineering. Most teams do them. Most teams know theirs aren't working. And most teams reach for the same diagnosis: the templates are too long, nobody has time, and nobody reads them anyway. These aren't wrong observations. But they're symptoms, not causes. The actual problem is that somewhere along the way, the post-mortem stopped being a piece of communication and became a compliance artifact.
