Details
Ever been jolted awake at 3 AM by an alert that turns out to be nothing? You're not alone. This talk dives into the real horror stories of on-call life — the noisy dashboards, the alert fatigue, the pages that cry wolf until the one that actually matters gets missed.
We'll explore how smart alerting systems can cut through the chaos by intelligently filtering signals from noise, and what it actually takes to build monitoring that developers can trust (and sleep through). If you've ever silenced a Slack channel out of sheer exhaustion, this session is for you.
Takeaways:
Why traditional alerting breaks down at scale
Patterns for reducing alert noise without missing critical incidents
How to design on-call systems that protect developer wellbeing and response quality
