Alert management in platform engineering can be significantly enhanced through internal developer portals, which unify alerts from various DevOps and monitoring tools into a single, cohesive interface. These portals feature a flexible software catalog that allows developers to track and manage various entities, from microservices to cloud resources, offering a "single pane of glass" for all alert-related information. By integrating alerts with the software catalog, developers can reduce cognitive load and respond more effectively to issues, using self-service actions to acknowledge, investigate, or resolve alerts. The use of scorecards within these portals helps maintain engineering quality by providing contextually relevant metrics on software health, driven by aggregated alert data. This approach not only streamlines alert management but also facilitates workflow automation, allowing alerts to trigger actions based on their severity and association with specific entities in the catalog, thereby improving the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the engineering teams.
