Our integration with PagerDuty.
We’ll go through some of the benefits of using this product in conjunction with StatusCake and overview the functionalities that are unique to this integration.
PagerDuty’s digital operations management platform empowers teams to proactively mitigate customer-impacting issues by automatically managing, categorizing, and assigning the incoming alerts from the StatusCake monitoring service. What’s more PagerDuty allows you to get in control of on-call responsibilities by easily configuring custom on-call schedules, rotations, and escalations.
PagerDuty can also add new notification possibilities
As well as intelligently assigning the right alerts to the right team members. An alert sent from StatusCake can then be converted into a phone call to the relevant person – meaning generally that more urgent issues are picked up faster.
By default, a new incident created in PagerDuty will become resolved at the point of StatusCake sending through the recovery alert. So most of the incident management will be automated for short downtimes and smaller issues, for anything more serious there are options within PagerDuty for escalation – and this will be intelligently directed to the correct on-call team. This is great for if you don’t want the entire team woken up for an issue that can be resolved by a particular member.
This integrations’ usefulness does not expire at the point of getting the alert either! PagerDuty incorporates a wealth of over 200 integrations which can be used to go further with the data sent in by StatusCake, whether it be tallying the incidents on a dashboard or generating a graph to show the results over time.
Once all is said and done and it’s time for a post-mortem following an incident, PagerDuty also has you fully covered as it supports and has in depth tools for incident classification, response automation, business-wide orchestration, and postmortem learning.

6 min read The Real Cost of Owning Monitoring Isn’t Code — It’s Everything Else In Part 1, we explored how AI has dramatically reduced the cost of building monitoring tooling. That much is clear. You can scaffold uptime checks quickly, generate alert logic in minutes, and set-up dashboards faster than most teams used to schedule the kickoff

5 min read AI Has Made Building Monitoring Easy. It Hasn’t Made Owning It Any Easier. A few months ago, I spoke to an engineering manager who proudly told me they had rebuilt their monitoring stack over a long weekend. They’d used AI to scaffold synthetic checks. They’d generated alert logic with dynamic thresholds. They’d then wired everything

Alerting Is a Socio-Technical System
3 min read In the previous posts, we’ve looked at how alert noise emerges from design decisions, why notification lists fail to create accountability, and why alerts only work when they’re designed around a clear outcome. Taken together, these ideas point to a broader conclusion. That alerting is not just a technical system, it’s a socio-technical one. Alerting

Designing Alerts for Action
3 min read In the first two posts of this series, we explored how alert noise emerges from design decisions, and why notification lists fail to create accountability when responsibility is unclear. There’s a deeper issue underneath both of those problems. Many alerting systems are designed without being clear about the outcome they’re meant to produce. When teams

A Notification List Is Not a Team
3 min read In the previous post, we looked at how alert noise is rarely accidental. It’s usually the result of sensible decisions layered over time, until responsibility becomes diffuse and response slows. One of the most persistent assumptions behind this pattern is simple. If enough people are notified, someone will take responsibility. After more than fourteen years
