Who's on Call? Learn to Sync Pagerduty with Slack
Blog post from Convex
Gautam Gupta's guide explains how to seamlessly integrate PagerDuty and Slack using Convex to automatically update a Slack channel with the current on-call engineer's details. This integration addresses the challenge of quickly identifying on-call personnel during incidents by using a Convex-based solution that improves upon the original AWS Lambda approach. The process involves cloning a GitHub repository, deploying the application on Convex, and configuring API keys, allowing users to efficiently manage their incident response without extensive AWS knowledge. The solution uses Convex's capabilities to store configurations and schedules functions, enabling real-time updates to Slack based on PagerDuty's on-call data, and offers a simpler, scalable alternative to complex AWS setups.
