You Voted: Announcing the Winner of Our Alert Sound Contest #pickyourpage

PagerDuty held a contest to create a new on-call alert sound, receiving entries from September 21 to October 2 and allowing participants to vote both online and at AWS re:Invent. The winning entry, created by Taavi Burns, a software developer at PagerDuty who is also a musician, features an alert that starts quietly, aiming to be less intrusive while still effective. This initiative highlighted the company's focus on allowing users to personalize their alert experiences and showcased their engagement with the community at AWS re:Invent, where they also discussed new features like Incident Urgencies that aid in improving DevOps practices. The event, which included a voting station, giveaways, and a co-sponsored happy hour, provided an opportunity for PagerDuty to connect with users and received recognition as one of the hottest products by Network World.
