If you’re dealing with constant Slack/PagerDuty pings and “alert storms,” this guide is a practical, engineer-friendly playbook to reduce noise and improve incident response by focusing on actionable alerts using routing, deduplication, and suppression—the same core techniques recommended across modern observability practices to prevent alert fatigue and missed real incidents. (Datadog)
Alert fatigue isn’t a “people problem” — it’s a signal design problem. Fix it with a simple operating model:✅ Route alerts to the right owner/on-call (service/team/env-aware)
✅ Dedup repeated notifications into a single incident (group + correlate)
✅ Suppress noise during known conditions (maintenance windows, downstream cascades, flapping)
✅ Escalate only when it’s truly actionable and time-sensitive
