Hey PagerDuty community! 👋We experienced service disruptions on August 28 that affected some customers in our US Service Regions, and we owe you complete transparency about what happened.The overview: A Kafka system failure at 3:53 UTC triggered cascading issues that disrupted event processing for several hours.

Today’s episode is about technical debt, not as a cautionary tale, but as a lens. We take a closer look at where debt comes from, how it quietly rewires teams, and why paying it off is rarely just a matter of “cleaning up code.” Along the way, we’ll examine two real-world stories: one where unaddressed debt led to a $440 million disaster, and another where a company used an infrastructure overhaul to rebuild architectural trust. This is about more than code. It’s about momentum, memory, and the systems we inherit.  🎧 Listen on Page it to the Limit or in your favorite podcast app: Spotify | Apple | Pocket Casts 🎧Page It to the Limit is a podcast that focuses on what it means to operate software in production.

Alert fatigue can happen to anyone working in environments with a lot of signals from different sources. In security, teams are dealing with potential threats reported by tools running across the organization. Dealing with all the alerts, whether they are positive, negative, false positives, false negatives, is a lot of mental stress and requires cognitive capacity that can be depleated. In this episode, we speak with Boaz Barzel, Field CTO at OX Security, about his research on the subject.Boaz Barzel is the Field CTO at OX Security, specializing in bridging the gap between security, technology, and business. By making tech makes sense, Boaz is aligning product innovation with the real-world needs of customers and is known for transforming complex security challenges into strategic business advantages.

Welcome to the future of operations, where people and agents manage critical work together, driving productivity and efficiency.

AI used to wait for instructions. Now, it doesn’t always ask. In this opening episode, we explore the rise of agentic AI systems that don’t just respond to input, but take initiative, set goals, and act on their own. We break down what agentic really means, why it’s different from traditional automation, and what kinds of design and trust challenges this shift introduces. Along the way, we look at how this plays out in tools that summarize, schedule, and trigger real-world workflows — and why autonomy sounds good in theory but gets messy fast. Whether you’re building LLM-powered copilots, evaluating autonomous workflows, or just trying to keep your incident response human-aware, this is the groundwork you’ll need for what’s coming next.Sid Verma is a Developer Advocate at PagerDuty, where he helps developers optimize their workflows and implement scalable solutions.
