2025-02-19 Adjustable stint types

· 2 min read

Now you can customize your on-call schedules with different stint types, supporting one-day shifts, weekend/weekday splits, and more for teams with aggressive SLAs.

🗓️ Scheduler improvements​

Ever had an on-call rotation that treated weekends differently than weekdays? What about one- or two-day shifts? There's good reason for this, as some rotations have aggressive SLAs or volumes and treating these times differently can be helpful. We're happy to announce support for adjustable stint types in Hotpot.

Any schedule can be adjusted to meet your needs.

Stint types are currently a beta feature so contact us at help@hotpot.works if you're interested in trying them!

Other scheduler improvements​

  • Refactored some internals of terminal behavior logic for resilience and improved maintainability.
  • PagerDuty sync: Various resilience improvements, especially for newly created escalation policies.
  • Problems flagged in the schedule now link directly to the fix workflow.
  • Attempting to remove a user that is backstopping a schedule now greets you with an error.

🛠️ Grafana integration​

Hotpot now supports initiating pages and creating moments from Grafana.
