Clearly define who is on duty<\/h2>\n\n<p>It seems basic, but it is not always clear.<\/p>\n\n<p>You need:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>defined shifts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>clear replacements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vacations considered<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ordered rotations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 after hours, there can be no doubt.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Use appropriate channels<\/h2>\n\n<p>After hours, not everything works.<\/p>\n\n<p>An email at 3 AM: <strong>does not work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>You need channels that actually generate action:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>calls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>active notifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 the critical must interrupt<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ensure that someone responds<\/h2>\n\n<p>It is not enough to send the alert.<\/p>\n\n<p>It must exist:<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 confirmation<\/p>\n\n<p>If no one responds:<\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 automatic scaling<\/p>\n\n<p>not to rely on chance<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
