Behind-the-scenes building On-call
Creating an on-call product is hard: it has to be rock-solid, capable of handling massive alert storms, and be designed to minimize the impact of on-call on the lives of those responding. In this series, we share behind-the-scenes details of how we built our on-call product. From collaborating closely with our design partners to running rigorous load testing and reliability drills, we’ll share the journey of developing a product that reimagines the on-call experience.
Behind the scenes: Launching On-call
We like to ship it then shout about it, all the time. Building On-call was different.

Building On-call: The complexity of phone networks
Making a phone call is easy...right? It's time to re-examine the things you thought were true about phone calls and SMS.

Building On-call: Building a multi-platform on-call mobile app
What does it take to build a greenfield mobile app in 2024? When we launched On-call earlier this year, we had to find out.

Building On-call: Time, timezones, and scheduling
Time is tricky, but building our On-call scheduler meant getting cozy with all of its quirks— and lots of testing. No "time" like the present to dive in!

Building On-call: Our observability strategy
Our customers count on us to sound the alarm when their systems go sideways—so keeping our on-call service up and running isn’t just important; it’s non-negotiable. To nail the reliability our customers need, we lean on some serious observability (or as the cool kids say, o11y) to keep things running smoothly.
Martha Lambert
Building On-call: Continually testing with smoke tests
Launching On-call meant we had to make our system rock-solid from the get-go. Our solution? Smoke tests to let us continually test product health and make sure we're comfortable making changes at pace.
