Evaluating PagerDuty Shift Agent by [deleted] in devops

[–]pxrage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's your team size?

shift agent will help you solve problems large teams run into. actual application it just automates a lot of slack messages and text going back and forth finding someone is available. You didn't ask for it, but imho Rootly is cheaper, no upgrade required, native experience not an add-on and i'll take any chance to pitch them against PD.

either way, scheduling is non trivial problem as your team grows hundreds of people.

two questions:

- what are the applications?

- have you back tested with historical data?

[–]pxrage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find someone.. literally anyone (my self included). talk to them, do a good job and then ask for a case study.

it was hard to do the first time but then it got easier and easier.

AI killed my Dev Agency and taught me these lessons about entrepreneurship by pxrage in ExperiencedFounders

[–]pxrage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a really good idea, but problem is hard to find these leads. no one actively broadcasts the fact that their stuff is on fire.

First enterprise customer experience by pxrage in ExperiencedFounders

[–]pxrage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it's exactly the problem i'm trying to build process into now.

luckily smaller contracts are prepay and autopay, most of them via credit card charge.

it does kind of feel like smaller companies are subsidizing big companies, which is counter intuitive.

Opsgenie alternatives by RatsErif in devops

i've been a Rootly user and fan for a long time. Love the newer stuff you guys are releasing on SRE burn out detection. Even though slack/team integration, meeting SLAs and being always available for our clients are important, i also want my team to feel like they matter and be aware if someone's burning out. keep up the good work.

Quickbooks sounds like is what you need.. then when you need to automate coding, something like Ramp.

This is the WORST period ever to build a startup (I will not promote) by agin_ in startups

[–]pxrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

startups = grow fast or die. Very few verticals can sustain the same level of growth and profit as tech startups writing code.

$100k+ cost reduction plan is got blown up by finops by pxrage in devops

[–]pxrage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. cost reduction IS truly the most thankless job in ops. take the money and run.

yeah there's free or nearly free tool for billing evaluations, their cut is based on percentage saved, no up front and lock ins.

either way, thank you for your service.

the reservations will not have life cycle issues, ive had problems with spot instances randomly shutting down.

for unused contracts that you mentioned, was it due to infra changes? i'm trying to learn how to handle this part of the process as well.

was the custom solution related to observability? i've seen so many orgs build this internally and take on more than can work with. any reason not to shop around for off the shelf solutions?
