Back in 2019 and 2020, HashiCorp’s Cloud SREs worked with our engineering teams to build an incident management program for the soon-to-be launched Cloud Platform. I’ll take you on a retrospective through how we initially approached this task, including a walk through the HashiCorp RFC process, as well as some of the questions we encountered along the way (for example, tooling selection challenges, or whether to use words like retrospective instead of postmortem). I’ll talk about how that process has continued to evolve into 2022, as well as what we think the future holds for incident management at HashiCorp.
