Sensory Friendly Monitoring: Keeping the Noise Down
summary
A startup-sized engineering org (~15-person team) chronicles a noisy monitoring stack that leads people to mute alerts, costing ~25 minutes of focused work per interruption and producing a measurable quality drop of one to two points on tight tasks. Practical fixes include categorizing alerts by owner and urgency, killing false positives, adding redundancy so a Slack outage that lasts a half day doesn’t blind ops, and scheduling regular “spring cleaning” in every sprint to retire stale checks and fix frequent errors.
