Reduce Ops by Managing oncalls, tickets, incidents over Slack

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…

In plain words

Reduce Ops is a Slack-integrated tool that streamlines on-call management, incident operations, and ticket handling for software development teams. It automates tasks like tracking current on-call engineers, updating incident status, managing post-incident action items, and generating on-call reports—all within Slack. The tool syncs with PagerDuty and Opsgenie schedules and supports round-robin rotations, designed to reduce administrative overhead for developers and help engineering leaders maintain operational discipline.

Manage and create on-call schedules, sync oncalls with Slack usergroups, Jira and JSM on Slack, Opsgenie on Slack, and run incident response inside Slack…

Sync Opsgenie and other tools' oncalls with Slack usergroups. Create your own round-robin rotations, assign tasks in round-robin manner, and run unlimited incidents - all inside Slack and Teams. Build round-robin or custom schedules directly in Pagerly. Daily, weekly or custom interval shifts, with on-call responsibility auto-assigned across the team. Add phone numbers for paging and the on-call engineer receives a call, SMS and email. Connect AWS, Datadog or Sentry to raise incidents automatically.

    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…

    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 HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
