Incident Management and Response
Ensure uptime, resilience, and calm — 24/7
Unburden your teams by outsourcing to a trusted partner that restores stability fast — and prevents incidents before they occur.
Incident response expertise end-to-end
OpsWerks embeds incident management & response (IR) teams within your organization, offering complete or partial services, depending on your needs. With our end-to-end IR expertise, we strengthen resilience and reduce disruption through each phase:
Readiness and prevention
We align to your objectives, manage SLOs and error budgets, calibrate risk gates, and stress-test systems all with a proactive, preventative focus. We also surface recurring issues, script remediation automations, and refine runbooks to accelerate recovery.
Observability and detection
Trained on your tools and processes, we collect logs, metrics, and traces, plus analyze support request patterns for early signals. In parallel, we fine-tune alerts, suppress noise, improve dashboards, and detect anomalies to catch issues before they impact users.
Acknowledgement and triage
Operating 24/7, we quickly validate alerts, prioritize severity, assign ownership, and update teams across all channels. When escalation is required, we engage internal SREs and provide the full context: logs, metrics, timelines, and impact details with warm handoffs across shifts and time zones to ensure continuity.
Response and resolution
We rapidly contain impact and resolve issues by executing runbooks or engineering fixes for novel issues in real time. Our teams perform safe rollbacks or roll-forwards, apply hotfix pipelines, adjust emergency configs, and validate recovery to avoid disruption. And when third parties are involved, we can act as a liaison, keeping stakeholders updated on recovery efforts.
Post-incident improvement
We either lead or participate in blameless postmortems, root cause analysis (RCA), and problem management. Always going further, we learn from each incident to identify patterns, find new solutions, update runbooks, and track actions to closure.

When escalation is required, we engage on-call and provide the full context: logs, metrics, timelines, and impact details with warm handoffs across shifts and time zones to ensure continuity.

What our customers are saying…
I've never seen a vendor that does such a great job of cross-training their teams and following through on the information given to them.
Infrastructure Deployment and Hardware SRE Manager
Give them a problem statement... they'll go figure it out.
Andrew | Director of Infrastructure Software
We experienced a high ROI on training the OpsWerks people. And I say that as someone who's trained a lot of people over the years and high ROI is not always a guarantee.
