Apr 9, 2025 By Jessica Abelson In FireHydrant
Atlassian is retiring Opsgenie, and if you're one of the teams relying on it to manage on-call and incidents, you're facing a tough question: Do you make the forced migration to Jira Service Management or Compass, scramble for a lookalike tool — or use this moment to upgrade your entire approach to incident response?

Apr 9, 2025 By Ed Dean In Incident.io
We speak to engineering teams every day, and everybody knows AI is the future. Some tell us they’re massively accelerated by Claude, or that they’re rebuilding their product, team and ways of working. Cursor and Lovable have announced they’re building the last piece of software. Should we give in to the vibes? Embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists? The reality is that things will still go wrong. They always do, at least from time to time.

Apr 8, 2025 By Tom Wentworth In Incident.io
In Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), distinguishing incident management from problem management is crucial. While both processes aim to maintain system reliability, they fulfill distinct roles: incident management focuses on quickly resolving immediate disruptions, whereas problem management identifies and rectifies root causes to prevent recurrence. Effectively combining these processes helps minimize downtime, enhances system resilience, and fosters a proactive operational approach.

Do You Still Need an ITSM Platform in 2025?

Apr 7, 2025 By Constant Fischer In PagerDuty
