On-Call Router

Maximizes the chance of reaching the right person when alerts fire

// The problem

Datadog alarm fires. On-call engineer didn't hear the phone. PagerDuty backup chain kicked in but 15 min late. Customer impact escalated.

// What it does

On alert, checks on-call rotation. If primary unavailable (Slack status, calendar, recent activity), notifies in parallel — phone + SMS + Slack + WA + voice call. First to respond acknowledges.

// Value

MTTA decreases noticeably — especially for night-time incidents where multi-channel parallel paging adds real value

Instead of PagerDuty's sequential retry, parallel 4-channel paging limits primary on-call missing or sleeping through. Doesn't reduce MTTR directly — just connection time.

Setup time: 3-5 gün

// How it works

  1. 01

    Monitoring webhook (Datadog/PagerDuty/Sentry)

  2. 02

    On-call rotation + müsaitlik kontrolü

  3. 03

    Multi-channel paralel notify

  4. 04

    İlk yanıtlayan acknowledge eder

  5. 05

    Diğer kanallar otomatik durur

  6. 06

    5dk içinde kimse yanıt vermezse otomatik eskalasyon (manager/CTO)

  7. 07

    Incident kanalı otomatik açılır + ilgili dokümanlar pin

// Real example

Selin SRE lead. Gece 03:00 production down alarm. On-Call Router primary mühendis Cem'i 4 kanaldan arar (telefon + WA + SMS + Slack). Cem WA'dan 12 saniyede ack der. Diğer kanallar durur. Incident kanalı #inc-2026-03-prod-db açılır, runbook + son 5 deploy + DB metric grafikleri pin.

// Limits (honest)

  • ×PagerDuty'nin tam yerine geçmez — yanına çalışır
  • ×Çoklu kanal bildirim maliyetlidir (SMS/voice)
  • ×Yanlış pozitif alarmlarda bildirim yorgunluğu — alarm hijyeni şart

01.PagerDuty'm var, neden buna ihtiyacım var?+

PagerDuty sequential dener. Biz paralel. Geceleri kritik fark.

Alarm metadata sizin sisteminizde. Biz orchestrator.
