24 alternatives to Incident/Ops
I'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…

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…

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…

I'm building Incidental, an open-source (MIT license) incident management platform. I've been working on it for the past couple of months as a hobby, and now it's at a state where I'm comfortable sharing it. This is also my first open source project. 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!

Hi HN! In all the organisations, we have worked, SDEs and EMs spend a lot of time on on-call, incident operations, ticket operations - Constantly updating everyone on the current status of an incident, figuring out who is the current Oncall in Slack threads like @dev-oncall, Missing following up on Action Items post-incident, creating a post-mortem RCA document, Spending time on creating and analysing oncall reports For each of these tasks, there is a Developer who doesn't like to spend time on these tasks and an Engineering leader who stresses maintaining this culture. This is why we…

Alias Bot▲99Teams in Slack often end up pasting long @mention chains, and someone gets missed (or the wrong person gets pinged). It’s worse for rotating groups like on-call, releases, incident response. We built Alias Bot: each channel can define aliases like `!oncall` / `!reviewers`. When someone uses an alias, the bot replies with the expanded mentions and lists exactly who was notified (so there are no hidden pings). This is intentionally channel-scoped (vs Slack user groups being workspace-wide), so the same alias can mean different things in different channels without admin overhead. Privacy…

Hi all, I'm sure some of the best engineers out here are having a hard time standing out nowadays. It's hard to evaluate and improve your skills, when AI is writing the code. Especially when a junior dev is sitting by your side and "accomplishing" 2x more than you. I didn't like this reality where the line between real talent and AI slop is blurring, so I decided to create a challenge, purely for the community, that is made to truly give a stage for talented devs to stand out in the age of AI. We encourage devs to bring their agents with them, because the challenge is built to not be…

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,…
