On this episode of the podcast, Ben and Ryan talk with Robert Ross, the CEO and co-founder of FireHydrant. They chat about the problem with alerting and incident management today, how holiday code freezes change incident management, and how Robert accidentally became a CEO.
While FireHydrant is mostly known for their incident management software, they’re introducing Signals to modernize alerting and consolidate it with incident management.
FireHydrant was born out of an incident where a database was dropped at 5:30pm on a Friday right before network maintenance started. It also led to Robert’s social media handle, Bobby Tables.
This one time…at band camp…Robert got paged in the middle of trumpet practice…on his sabbatical.
