24 alternatives to I built IncidentPulse after getting paged at 3 AM
I built IncidentPulse after the classic "Slack-on-fire, status-page-outdated" outage chaos. It's a clean, self-hosted tool to track incidents, responders, and updates. Live Demo: https://incident-pulse.vercel.app GitHub: https://github.com/bhoyee/IncidentPulse I'm at a crossroads and would love your blunt feedback on one question: What's the ONE feature that would make you actually switch from your current process (be it PagerDuty, a messy Slack channel, or nothing) to a tool like this? Other things I'd love thoughts on: Is the webhook setup (with HMAC,…

Incident/Ops▲59I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…

Features: - Custom roles - Custom severities - Integrated with Slack - Web interface Todos: - Custom fields - Custom workflows Website: https://incidental.dev Github: https://github.com/incidentalhq/incidental I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

Hey HN, I am building an open source platform to make on-call better and less stressful for engineers. We are building a tool that can silence alerts and help with debugging and root cause analysis. We also want to automate tedious parts of being on-call (running runbooks manually, answering questions on Slack, dealing with Pagerduty). Here is a quick video of how it works: https://youtu.be/m_K9Dq1kZDw I hated being on-call for a couple of reasons: * Alert volume: The number of alerts kept increasing over time. It was hard to maintain existing alerts. This would lead to a lot…

Hi, I built this tool to monitor third-party cloud and SaaS services and send notifications, primarily meant for techops/SRE folks. I built this based on my past work experience where I felt a need for such a tool and had to be satisfied with patched together scripts. E.g. Getting alerted when my public cloud has incidents, my monitoring SaaS is unable to send alerts, GitHub has intermittent issues, Slack has trouble delivering messages, Stripe has payment failures for an edge case, and so on. It was important to catch these issues before they impacted my apps. For paging services, I…

Hi HN, Most of us have been there: It’s 3 AM, there’s an outage, and the #incident channel is exploding with 200+ messages. Once the fix is deployed, the real pain begins—spending 4 hours reconstructing the timeline for the post-mortem. I built ProdRescue AI to automate this. It’s an incident intelligence engine that correlates technical logs with human context from Slack. How it works: Native Slack Integration: Connect via OAuth 2.0. We only access channels you explicitly invite the bot to. Contextual Correlation: It maps Slack timestamps to log events, identifying not just what failed, but…

Eurker▲16Hi HN, I built an uptime monitoring tool similar to other services, but more lightweight, easier to set up, and focused on developer flexibility. It includes all the essential features — keyword assertions, custom HTTP methods, retries, alerts via SMS/Email/Slack/Webhooks — with a clean JSON config system for advanced setups. I originally made it last month to learn more about Firebase Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, and to build something real for my portfolio. It turned out to be genuinely useful, so I’ve decided to share it. Would love your feedback – especially from devs…

PulseUp▲13Vercel taught us to pay them a premium, worry about affording any more traffic, and thanking them for the privilege. I built PulseUp so we can move away from server-less. You can deploy any full stack application and database in minutes, directly to your VPS, and sleep well.

Hey HN, I got tired of rewriting the same event handling code, so built a more permanent solution for myself. The idea is something happens here (a signup, a failed payment, a support ticket, an error) and three things need to happen there: a Slack message, a row in a database, an email. Every time it's a new handler in code (maybe even retries, a queue, etc.) and maybe even more work integrating with Customer.io, Zapier, and so on to "get it there". So I built my own, re-usable solution that handles the above. You build a pipeline, throw events at it (SDK or HTTP), and it runs on every…
