A morning brief for production systems.
Sentry tells you what happened overnight. We tell you what matters. One page, one coffee, before standup.
TODAY'S BRIEF · SAMPLE
What a brief looks like. Names and numbers are illustrative.
-
NullPointerException: cart.discount is null847×first seen 03:42 · 84 users · checkout-api · production
-
TimeoutError: payments-api did not respond within 10s312×first seen 03:50 · 41 users · checkout-api · production
-
Redis::ConnectionError: connection pool exhausted198×recurring · 6 users · web · production
-
DBConnection.ConnectionError: pool exhausted—no events since 01:12 · web
Checkout is broken. The NullPointer and the payments timeout are the same bug surfacing twice — fix the null guard in CheckoutService and both clear. The Redis pool can wait until after standup.
HOW THE PAPER IS MADE
Four steps. One page. Before standup.
-
I.
Point Sentry at us
Paste your IncidentBrief webhook URL into a Sentry Issue Alert. Ninety seconds, no SDK to install.
-
II.
Listen overnight
Every alert is stored as it arrives, grouped by issue and ranked by volume, users affected and freshness.
-
III.
Draft the brief
Severity is decided by rules, not guesswork. The editor's note says what matters and what to fix first.
-
IV.
Delivered at dawn
At your local send time, in your inbox and optionally Slack. Open the web brief for the numbers behind the story.
READ ANYWHERE
