Incident Readiness
When production breaks, does your team have a playbook, or does everyone just Slack the one person who knows the system? We build the runbooks, alerts, and processes so the next incident doesn't become a war story.
The Problem
Most startups are one bad deploy away from a 3 AM scramble. There's no playbook, alerts fire for everything and mean nothing, and the post-mortem is a blame game. The cost isn't just downtime, it's the engineers who burn out and leave.
Who This Is For
Teams where production incidents mean calling the same person every time. Engineering orgs that have survived a bad outage and want to make sure it goes better next time. Companies where on-call is destroying retention.
