Roads, power lines, and sewers apparently work all the time. Yet, they break, and we fix them without interrupting the motion of the city. Dan Slimmon makes a case for normalizing incidents in complex systems. It’s not complacency—it’s just unavoidable: a failure mode is going to fracture throughout your system faster than you can get behind it and fix it, and you're going to have an incident. You need to prepare for when it happens, not wonder if it will.

As reported today by Business Wire, Rootly is launching its AI-Agent-first API, enabling customers to build on top of our platform using LLM-powered agents to compose complex workflows. Rootly’s AI-Agent API creates a setup where platform admins can manage incident workflows, policies, and other configurations through a conversational interface. Our AI-Agent-first approach follows the open-source standard agents.json, which is compatible with OpenAPI.

Heading to SRECon? Step away from the slides and join us for a drink or a soda. Reliability, observability, and scaling challenges don’t get solved in a vacuum—they get solved in conversations with people who’ve been there. That’s why Rootly, r/SRE, Sentry, Cortex, and Stanza are hosting SRECon’s after-hours arcade happy hour. 📅 March 26 | 7-9 PM 🎮 Arcade games, craft beer, and real conversations 👥 Open to all SRECon attendees No panels. No pitches. Just good drinks, great people, and real discussions on what’s working (and what’s not).

“Search and Rescue, wilderness medicine, and ski patrol teams foster some of the best team dynamics I have ever experienced,” writes Claire Majors Leverne. This stands in stark contrast to the rising burnout rates consistently reported by the DORA 2024 and SRE 2025 reports. What makes team dynamics in life-or-death situations stronger than in engineering? Claire, an outdoors expert and engineer, explores how culture and training can support a team through the toughest moments.

Yesterday, Rootly's Quentin Rousseau, caught up with Slack's Senior Director, Developer Marketing, Gillian Bruce, during Salesforce #TDX25. The event was buzzing with enthusiasm around the launch of Agentforce 2.0, Salesforce’s agentic AI, which can now be deployed directly into Slack.

Opsgenie was officially declared dead 55 minutes ago. RIP 💀. They announced end of support will be April 5th, 2027. A great time to join world-class companies like Trivago, Motive, and many others have already made the switch from Opsgenie to Rootly. Over the last 12 months I've personally obsessed over our seamless migration process. ✅ Importer tool (from schedules to notification preferences in minutes). ✅ Team of ex-Opsgenie/PagerDuty pros that have ran 100s of migrations. ✅ Intuitive and guided onboarding flows for responders. ✅ Proactive support and training to ensure you get the most out of Rootly. "All our users had to do was create an account and download the app. That's it. Rootly handled it all and we didn't miss a beat." Rootly offers full feature parity—and more. Experience the modern on-call solution you've been waiting for. Stuck in an annual contract? DM me with the details. Rootly is running a "switch from Opsgenie" special, starting today. FWIW - I have great respect for the Opsgenie team for pioneering the space that enabled Rootly to thrive 💙.

The industry has spent millions of dollars optimizing serverless for speed, but AI workloads are changing the game. In the AI realm, slower execution often leads to better results. The challenge? Paying for all that idle compute time while waiting for AI responses and all the streaming it takes to return those results. Mariano Fernández Cocirio, Staff Product Manager at Vercel, explains how Vercel's Fluid is introducing a new paradigm that combines the best of serverless and servers. Listen in to learn more about how Fluid could help bridge the gap for AI workloads and what developers should watch out for in this model.

PagerDuty isn’t great when your kid gets sick and you need someone to cover for you. Or when have a new hire to onboard and you need to set up shadow rotations. Or when you have to coordinate a response after getting paged. And definitely, PagerDuty isn’t great when you see its bill. Hundreds of teams have already switched from PagerDuty to Rootly and they’re glad they did. Our team will be happy to show you around our platform—no sales fluff, just a technical walkthrough.
