PagerDuty's AI Data Engineering Team cuts on-call incidents by 30% with automated alert management
The on-call team faced high incident volumes with many non-actionable alerts requiring manual snoozing to monitor, and the load grew unsustainably as new services were continuously deployed.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Pull incidents insights report
The team pulls an Insights >> Incidents report by team, downloads it to CSV, and includes resolution and acknowledgement columns.
Tools used
PagerDuty
Outcome
After implementing configuration changes, the team cut on-call incidents by 30%, reduced mean time to acknowledge dramatically through better alert quality, and eliminated manual snoozing through automated rules.
