DeepSeek Status Page Migration: From Atlassian to Flashduty
DeepSeek moved its public status page from Atlassian Statuspage to Flashduty Statuspage. The engineering math behind it: why they switched, whether to self-host, whether it migrates cleanly, and the key differences between Flashduty and Atlassian.

Sending Alerts to a Group Chat Does Not Mean Someone Owns the Incident
Group chat alerts improve visibility, but they do not create ownership. Real incident response needs an owner, acknowledgment, escalation, closure, a timeline, and reviewable follow-up.

A CLI for humans and agents
Why an incident response platform builds a CLI at all, and why we made it the entry point for AI coding agents to operate Flashduty — an engineering note on CLI design tradeoffs.

An SDK shouldn't be smarter than its API
go-flashduty is the official Go client for the Flashduty Open API: thin, strongly typed, and generated from an OpenAPI spec. We want to talk about how to design and maintain an SDK spanning 27 services and 253 endpoints — why we chose codegen over hand-writing, why we keep a strict 1:1 boundary with the API, and how that boundary keeps the SDK from rotting over the years.

We stopped writing docs by hand
A small team with no dedicated product manager built an AI agent to find hundreds of documentation gaps, write the missing docs, and open PRs. The fix was not asking engineers to remember docs; it was making drift visible.

Is PagerDuty Too Expensive? How to Calculate On-call Cost for a 100-Person Engineering Team
A cost model for comparing PagerDuty and Flashduty On-call: responders, notification-only users, licenses, communication quotas, Add-ons, and the questions teams often miss.

Is Alertmanager enough?
Where Prometheus Alertmanager ends and a dedicated On-call platform begins: routing, schedules, automatic escalation, incidents, IM collaboration, and analytics — with a side-by-side selection table and a concrete path for connecting Alertmanager to Flashduty.

Flashduty Monitors now supports Loki and VictoriaLogs
Flashduty Monitors supports Grafana Loki and VictoriaLogs with native query syntax, three alerting modes, separate recovery logic, and raw log samples in alert messages.

Scheduling is the easy part
Integration, label enrichment, grouping, suppression, schedules, escalation, acknowledgement, collaboration, notification, analytics — every stage of On-call explained, along with how far to push each one and where the traps are.

On-call practice in the futures industry
Futures trading spans multiple sessions and runs under tight latency and risk-control requirements. This case shows how one futures company used a unified monitoring and incident response platform to speed up alert response and reduce operations pressure.

Don't let on-call burn out your best people
Plenty of teams claim everyone is on-call, and yet the most conscientious person ends up doing the most work, getting the most average review, and quitting. Here is how to make on-call both fair and sustainable, plus a checklist of anti-patterns to avoid.

How Google and Datadog run on-call
Google open-sourced Borg into Kubernetes and Borgmon into Prometheus. So what about Outalator, its internal on-call tool? We unpack the mature on-call practices at Google SRE and Datadog, show why the hard part was never the tooling, and look at what teams can actually borrow.
