Being on-call at incident.io

At incident.io, we are building a product that our users rely on 24/7, all year round. This means it is crucial that it is always working, and that is where our on-call rotation comes in. We believe that everyone should be on-call because it tightens the feedback loop between shipping new features and maintaining what we have, leading to more pragmatic engineering decisions.

Cloud or Self-Hosted - Which Deployment Model is Right For You?

Choosing the right observability platform is a critical decision. But how you deploy it is just as important. The right deployment strategy can accelerate your team, simplify operations, and ensure you meet compliance and security requirements. The wrong one can lead to operational headaches and slow you down. At SigNoz, we believe in flexibility. There is no single "best" way to deploy an observability platform; there's only the way that's best for you.

I built an MCP Server for Observability. This is my Unhyped Take

Recently, I read a blog titled “It’s The End Of Observability As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)”, which discussed MCP servers in observability and how these systems would potentially be the “end of observability”.

It’s 2:47 AM and your Lambda functions are timing out. API response times are spiking. You’re flipping between the CloudWatch console, your APM tool, and your logs, trying to figure out what’s going wrong.

The delay in stitching it all together slows down your incident response.
