Not to defend ding, but how is that different from PagerDuty?
- chillydawg 8y agoPagerduty is specifically for on call staff who's job is to respond, immediately, to alerts.
- chaosite 8y agoAnd it's expected that they only respond when they're "carrying the pager", that is, on their on-call shift. One of PagerDuty's features is figuring out who's the right person to page right now.
- CodesInChaos 8y agoI think the main difference is psychological. A dedicated emergency pager application contacting whoever is on call at that moment will lead to quite different usage than a targeted super-buzz feature integrated into a normal messenger application.
- gorbot 8y agoPager duty is typically on a rotation shared between the team members, so ur on call like one week out of 8 or so. Not 24/7, no location tracking, only real issues that impact the product, etc.
