Fucking on-call rotation. So much of it should just be automated. I shouldn't be looking up who owns the server that went down at 3am to let them know. It should send direct to them.
Edit: To be clear because of the downvote, I'm not saying the down server would do the reach out. It's down. It can't do anything.
My team is infrastructure. The servers are cattle, not pets, and there is a separate team for being able to troublshoot application specific issues and whether it's running properly after a restart.
All the info to determine if it's a system wide problem vs a single virtual server, to identify the owner properly, and to automate routing this stuff to the people who can actually do something about it are all there for our monitoring system. I know because I was directly involved in all of that. I made sure it was.
The only thing I didn't handle myself was configuring the alerting system, because that was set to be a project for a co-worker to lead. So every fucking network connectivity blip comes to us because they're going to "sort out the specifics later" before it goes live... like two years ago.
