Spike.sh - https://spike.sh

I may be biased as a co-founder of Spike.sh, but I think we have one of the best designed incident management products out there. We've focused on making it easy to create on-call schedule and overrides, and added templates for escalation, on-call and alert rules.

SRE is one of the hottest roles in startups and enterprises right now. But the job responsibilities and scope can change from company to company. We wanted to see what were the top expectations in the SRE role, so we analyzed 30 job postings from Google, Airbnb, Coinbase etc. to find out.

"It looks like this service does require password for sign-up and login right now unless you use google auth?"

We have implemented magic link in our new product, also as a way to trying out the tech and understanding user feedback. Appreciate your comments and a lot of great feedback from the discussion on this post in general.

we keep looking for ways to recreate the fun atmosphere of an office hangout or party. this looks interesting.

and i agree with another comment - you should add more context to the website about how the games will look/play like in slack.

I think Laravel framework for PHP has something called Spark which provides this.

Love the simplicity of spike! I've used other products like PagerDuty and OpsGenie and was overwhelmed by the complicated interface.

I agree to some extent. Unless you can filter the feedback based on the level of the user (plan, MRR from account, user engagement), it can result in some lower importance features being built. Also, making the roadmap public reduces the product team's flexibility to an extent.

Crazy stuff! And really like the blow-by-blow account.

Love the "early internet" feel of it, and of course the speed.

The domain name could be improved, considering that it will be part of every hosted blog. Something more concise, or rolls off the tongue easier.

Sorry about that - this should not happen. Ideally, you should see data in under a minute. Do reach out to me on support [at] my product's domain if you still see this.

Thanks! I have thought about it, will consider this.

Couldn't agree more. I am a pretty big Apple user (mac/iphone/ipad), but their audacity (shamelessness?) with the recent pricing is breathtaking.

They will probably fix the audio issue and use the opportunity to charge $500 more for the new improved Macbooks.

Oh! Let me check this.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Will think about this.

If Pingdom stops working for you for whatever reason, do reach out to us.

The core idea could be the same but I am focusing on things like simplicity and integrations like SMS, Whatsapp/Slack which could be more important for certain segments

Wow! I had no idea this is how they did it. Very cool!

"they seldom attack humans but they will happily eat snakes and alligators." This may not be a good idea. A lot of Indian towns are now facing problems of leopards attacking (and sometimes killing) humans, and these attacks have started to happen in crowded cities like Mumbai. Leopards earlier never attacked humans, but as they lost their habitat and the leopard population has grown, they now routinely attack people, sometimes carrying off kids.

They did this in India for rats or snakes (can't remember which). To make money, people then started breeding the creatures. :)

Same issue at the previous company. Engineering team decided to turn the web app into SPA, and spent months doing this. All that time which could have been spent on building customer value were wasted.

I use SequelPro for Mac (and love it!). Has anyone used both and can explain whether it is worth switching?
