My main use case for Squadcast is as an incident management tool where our entire alerting system operates. We receive alerts in Squadcast and route them to different escalation policies and teams based on alert category, with each team taking appropriate action according to the alert. A specific example of how I use Squadcast for incident management involves setting an escalation policy within the alert. Whenever the alert triggers, we receive a quick call based on the escalation policy. Once we receive the call over the phone, we respond back to the Squadcast ticket. Based on the severity of the Squadcast ticket, we raise a bridge call if there is production impact. If the severity is around warning level, we take the required action accordingly. Squadcast serves as our incident management platform with our alerting system based on GitOps principles. Via Alertmanager, we receive alerts based on thresholds we have set. Once a threshold is breached, we get the alert notification from Alertmanager, which triggers to Squadcast incident via a Squadcast webhook configured in Prometheus. Based on different alert categories, we have different sets of actions for which we have set escalation policies. We also use a roster within Squadcast.
