Hi all! I'm one of the developers at Rootly, an incident management platform.
We built On-Call Health, an open source tool from Rootly AI Labs that helps teams detect early burnout from incident response patterns. It connects to tools engineers already use (Rootly, PagerDuty, GitHub, Slack, Jira, Linear) to surface workload trends that traditional incident dashboards miss.
What we noticed:
-Incident volume alone doesn’t show the full picture. When alerts happen matter as much as how many occur
-After-hours interruptions add up. Late-night pages, weekend work, and repeated disruptions often drive burnout more than raw incident volume.
-Workload snowballs. Incident response happens alongside development work, reviews, tickets, and meetings.
-Look for trends, not only metrics. Changes in workload trends reveal signs of stress before dashboards
