Both page the right person at 3am and both integrate with everything. The real differences show up in pricing structure, workflow depth, and who already owns the ecosystem around you.
AIOps applies machine learning to your operational telemetry to cut alert noise, catch anomalies early, and speed up incident response.
Our best engineer quit citing on-call. We rebuilt the whole thing: saner rotations, runbooks that actually help at 3am, and escalation that doesn't punish asking for help.
Reliability arguments used to be shouting matches between SRE and product. An error budget turned them into arithmetic. Here's how we made the number drive the roadmap.
Most post-mortems produce a document and no follow-through. The blameless template, the facilitation rules, and the action-item discipline that actually convert incidents into engineering improvements.
AI agents for incident triage sound great in demos. We've tried it in production. The patterns that earn their keep, the ones that backfire, and where humans still beat agents.
Static thresholds and cause-based alerts produce noisy pages. Burn-rate alerting asks "are we burning the error budget faster than we can sustain?" and pages only when users are actually hurting.
Wrong SLI metrics mean green dashboards while users churn. The discipline of picking signals that move with what users actually feel, and the ones that look reliable but lie.
