Discussion Ask HN: What is your company's on-call rotation like? Also looking for readings on best practices.Curious about your company's on-call for details about:* expected duties (only answer on-call, do other work, etc)* how deep does your on-call dive into code to fix, vs triaging, patching, and creating follow up work to fix permanently?* priority order of work (on-call tickts vs regular work vs existing on-call tickets vs special queue of simple tasks)* what happens when the current on-call can't complete in time?* how do you manage for other teams' risk? (ie their api goes down, you can't satisfy your customers)* any other tidbits 82 points bobzimuta 10 years ago 63 comments
