On-Call

On-Call

Definition

On-call is the practice of designating engineers to be available outside normal working hours to respond to alerts and incidents affecting production systems. Effective on-call programs include clear escalation policies, well-maintained runbooks, alert tuning to reduce noise, and rotation schedules that distribute burden fairly.

Excessive on-call load is a leading contributor to engineer burnout.
