On-call

Current escalation expectations

There is no dedicated on-call rotation, compensation program, or formal after-hours response requirement today. Support is handled by service owners, Support/Ops, and the engineering team as needed.

Expectations

  • During working hours, urgent production issues should be declared and managed through the Incident Management process.
  • Critical incidents may use the incident.io app for after-hours escalation. Slack should not be treated as reliable after-hours paging.
  • If you are acting as a responder, acknowledge quickly, say what you are checking, and keep evidence in the incident channel.
  • Escalate early to service owners, Akansh, or John when impact extends beyond your area.
  • If you are unavailable after hours, do not silently hold ownership. Hand off or say you are unavailable so the Incident Lead can find another responder.

Current priority areas

  • Billing
  • Data Integrations

These are the areas to protect first when tradeoffs are required during an incident.
