Needs

Incident management & on-call. Our on-call engineers need clearer escalation, runbooks and post-incident follow-up as our platform footprint grows across regions.

Today: operations engineers handling outages directly with public status updates and no named paging tool · Urgency: now

Logs & metrics at controlled cost. We collect a lot of telemetry from our hosts and want to keep observability spend predictable while retaining useful history.
