Hear from Senior Director, Haritha Gongalore, on how rewarding it is to use Shoreline Alarms and Actions to test and certify our own releases.

In this training, we walk you through the common issues and challenges troubleshooting Kubernetes, and Shoreline's pre-built K8s debugging runbooks.

Ashley Stirrup dives into the hidden costs of on-call and discuss how one team saved 20 hours of DevOps time per month thanks to Shoreline.io automations.

Create a library of best practice debugging tools and pre-built remediation actions so that everyone on-call is as good as your best SRE with Shoreline's Datadog Incident Repair Kit.

Automation takes us too much time. The problem with this approach is that 48% of incidents are straightforward and repetitive. Don't have people fix them manually. Teach the computer how to do it.

Automation is risky. Errors in the remediation code could worsen an outage. While that’s true, we also know that human error causes 5x more incidents than automation. You can fix code. You can't fix people.

Automating mundane tasks and debugging were just a few of the DevOps requirements TigerGraph VP of Product and Innovation, Dr. Jay Yu, needed to scale in the cloud with his small team. Shoreline delivered.

Shoreline's recent survey found that 48% of incidents are straightforward and repetitive while 55% of them escalate beyond the 1st line on call. If your on-call sucks, you must find a path to make incidents incidental.

How can you better utilize the resources you keep aside for failover purposes? Here's how we utilized resources kept just for failover purposes to do things that could be stopped for some time when a failure happens and had resources doing useful background activity that can be deferred to when things hit the fan.

Shoreline's back ends are low utilization most of the time. But once an hour, we pull telemetry data from all agents, resulting in a CPU, memory, and network utilization spike. See how we convert over-provisioned resources for demand spikes to waste and eliminate it.

We're all being asked to do more with less now a days. For those of us in production operations, one of the best ways we can do that is eliminate waste with automation to drive higher utilization.

Waste is when resources are deeply over-provisioned, underutilized, or not utilized at all. Slack appears like the same thing, but you create it with purpose. It's important to understand the difference to drive costs down.

Most of the on-call issues are commonplace, which means they happen again and again. It’s important to automate these issues because it’s a one-time investment, doesn’t make mistakes, and stays with you forever.

Some issues can't be automated. For things that require human judgment, we provide on-call teams with notebooks that are optimized for operations. That way you know what action to take and when.

We're all sitting on the same infrastructure in Production Ops, but build our systems as if we’re starting new. Insane! That's why Shoreline Op Packs are available for free.

Shoreline enables highly targeted fleet-wide debugging and repair allowing you to debug across the fleet in about the same amount of time as an individual box.

No one wants to do on-call because you can't control when the incident happens. Improve your on-call by building automations that eliminate common production incidents.

It's critical to close ports like 22 and 3389 that can be opened unintentionally in a development environment

The only real solution is incident automation.

Part of the reason to create a company is to create the environment you want to be in.So it’s important that you reflect your values in your interview process. Otherwise, the sheer number of people joining will dilute things.

Obsessing about customers is important, but so is creating a culture where people take care of others and feel cared for. That’s why we put our values right on our website.

It requires predictive maintenance, including monitoring brownout and performing control actions

Underneath the covers, the underpinning technology is a lot like a parallel SQL database.

Beware of recency bias when automating incidents!

Often people try to build a solution like Shoreline on their own. Here's why they fail.

Shoreline helps on-call operators reduce incidents resulting in a better on-call experience and better availability for their customers.

Companies spend more on the people managing their cloud infrastructure than on the cloud infrastructure itself.

Record, curate, and publish incident debug and repair best practices to safely empower on-call teams.

Easily and safely automate incident remediations with a few lines of code.

Run a single command across the entire fleet to diagnose incidents more quickly.

Safely fix incidents across your entire fleet, with less overhead, and with fewer errors.

Shoreline Alarms identify issues with high specificity so that they are immediately actionable.

Shoreline’s Incident Automation Platform was built to reduce manual and repetitive work, so that you can repair issues faster, increase team productivity, and eliminate thousands of hours of degraded service.

Shoreline makes it easy to collect diagnostic information when you're doing a root-cause analysis of an issue.
