Rootly

SRECon’s best after-hours event is happening next week! Be sure to grab a spot before they’re all gone. ??Good drinks ??Great people ??Real conversations on reliability, observability, and scaling ???March 26 | 7-9 PM ??BarreBottle Brewery, Santa Clara Brought to you by Rootly, r/SRE, Sentry, Cortex, and Stanza. RSVP link in the comments.

You can now connect Rootly to any MCP-compatible AI tool, such as Cursor, Claude, and Copilot. This allows responders to resolve incidents with Rootly’s additional context without leaving their IDE. And that’s not all—the Rootly MCP Server is open source. That’s right, it’s licensed under Apache 2.0 and available on GitHub. Read more about our MCP Server and watch a demo in our blog post (link in comments).

Just finished building Rootly MCP server: go from production incident to resolution in under a minute. ?? How it’s done: -Plug it into your IDE (here Cursor) -Import an incident in Cursor’s chat -Cursors investigate the issue based on the metadata -Cursors suggest a fix, you just have to review and save Incident solved, without leaving your IDE. ????

KubeCon EU ‘25 features 300+ sessions in 22 tracks but none of them are catered to SREs. We’ve gone through the list and selected a few tailored to reliability engineers in four categories: ? Cutting-edge Observability ? Building Reliable AI Systems ? Case Studies of Reliability at Scale ? Deep Dives We highlight talks by Adriana Villela (OTel Maintainer, Dynatrace), Alolita S. (Observability TAG, Apple), Alexa Griffith (Bloomberg), Celalettin ?al?? (Chronosphere) and other exciting speakers. A bunch of Rootly folks will be in London for KubeCon, find us at some of the talks mentioned in our post, our Booth (S780), or one of hour three Happy Hours.

Rootly and Cortex, both trusted by industry leaders like Grammarly and Tripadvisor, are joining forces to deliver the most comprehensive incident management solution available. By integrating Cortex’s catalog with incident management, responders gain instant access to critical service context, including ownership, dependencies, and up-to-date documentation. Likewise, by incorporating Rootly’s insights into the Cortex Developer Portal, developers gain visibility into incidents affecting their services and can track reliability metrics in their Scorecards.

Toronto-based artist Dian Han took over Rootly HQ to paint a glimpse of the reliable future we’re working towards. Are you in town and want to check out our new mural? Shoot us a message, and let’s hang out!

Roads, power lines, and sewers apparently work all the time. Yet, they break, and we fix them without interrupting the motion of the city. Dan Slimmon makes a case for normalizing incidents in complex systems. It’s not complacency—it’s just unavoidable: a failure mode is going to fracture throughout your system faster than you can get behind it and fix it, and you're going to have an incident. You need to prepare for when it happens, not wonder if it will.

As reported today by Business Wire, Rootly is launching its AI-Agent-first API, enabling customers to build on top of our platform using LLM-powered agents to compose complex workflows. Rootly’s AI-Agent API creates a setup where platform admins can manage incident workflows, policies, and other configurations through a conversational interface. Our AI-Agent-first approach follows the open-source standard agents.json, which is compatible with OpenAPI.

Heading to SRECon? Step away from the slides and join us for a drink or a soda. Reliability, observability, and scaling challenges don’t get solved in a vacuum—they get solved in conversations with people who’ve been there. That’s why Rootly, r/SRE, Sentry, Cortex, and Stanza are hosting SRECon’s after-hours arcade happy hour. ???March 26 | 7-9 PM ???Arcade games, craft beer, and real conversations ???Open to all SRECon attendees No panels. No pitches. Just good drinks, great people, and real discussions on what’s working (and what’s not).

“Search and Rescue, wilderness medicine, and ski patrol teams foster some of the best team dynamics I have ever experienced,” writes Claire Majors Leverne. This stands in stark contrast to the rising burnout rates consistently reported by the DORA 2024 and SRE 2025 reports. What makes team dynamics in life-or-death situations stronger than in engineering? Claire, an outdoors expert and engineer, explores how culture and training can support a team through the toughest moments.
