Our strategy has always been to use as little higher abstractions from cloud providers as possible. Glad we went this way, saved us quite a bunch of SLA breaches today! I am confident to say that it's "best of both worlds".

No, we run on US East 1 but only EC2. Everything was running smoothly!

Yes, they use apps to break the law. But, still, regulation - when in doubt - should be avoided. Did you know that in Germany, you need to send your employees to a specialised training if they use a ladder in their day to day work? You don&

Who of you have ever been on the hiring side? I will tell you that it is frustrating in the very same way at it is for applicants. How can you tell as a recruiter if a resume is good? People can put anything on it. Did I work with SAP 20 ye

I currently have the strong opinion that for many mid-sized orgs with 250+ engineers it can be more resilient if you go back to bare metal or at least VM only in two or three local date centers. Yes, you need to know that they do their job

Sorry, but Excel is so great and the most loved software in the world because every user intuitively understands that the cells can be edited "right where they are". The markdown abstraction is nice, and probably has many usecase

I really like the emergence of simple queuing tools for robust database management systems. Keep things simple and remove infrastructure complexity. Definitely a +1 from me! For handling straightforward asynchronous tasks like sending opt-i

I'm actually very fond of "fail fast" and "no blame" culture, but someone needs to get fired for this!

"Herding cats" assumes your team consists of running wild stray cats. I am not sure if that's "servant" either. Leaders should treat their teams as adults. As an adult I can also accept my leader's decision -

Awesome! Reducing moving parts is always a great thing!For 99.9% of teams this is a great alternative to rely only on the database the team's already using. For those teams that use MongoDB, I created something similar (and simpler of

We are building a great and affordable incident escalation tool as well: https://allquiet.app With SMS, Phone Calls and Critical Alerts / DnD override. We're 5 USD/user. We try to build as close to our users as po

Talking about PagerDuty, I created a humble competitor: https://allquiet.app I hope it will help some smaller teams/companies cope in this high rate / low growth environment. :=)

PagerDuty is extremely expensive and I decided to disrupt the market a little bit by creating All Quiet: You might want to check it out: https://allquiet.app

With All Quiet you can acknowledge an incident. It will then stop pinging you and your colleagues. Also incidents and their triggers are idempotent, so All Quiet won't create new incidents when they're triggered several times by y

"...requires higher high availability than your app." How do you know the availability of All Quiet? :)

Good Point, MongoDB supports multi document ACID transactions for more than 5 years now.

That's a very helpful comment. Thanks. I might consider adding SMS / Calls to the notification channels. I didn't look from the perspective that Folks described here. Regarding Uptime 99.99%. That's very true and also a

Main difference is: - Escalation level management is super easy: drag & drop. No cumbersome management. - All Quiet tries to empower teams trying to strengthen thier self-organization. I believe that great teams have an inert motivation

Yes, it will auto-escalate to your team mates, if you don't acknowledge.

I cannot ensure that notifications are received. But neither can you with Email or SMS. Technically a Call might be more reliable, but still, your phone could be turned off or might not even have reception for a call.

Too bad. :( Would've loved to help you out. Would you mind elaborating on your usecases and why it's axactly a deal breaker?

I tried to make managing the incident escalation policies as simple as possible. It currently works with a simple drag&drop mechanism. The way PagerDuty is doing this also seemed very cumbersome to me. Of course All Quiet is currently
