The problem it solves

Your engineering team gets buried in Azure DevOps notifications, work item updates, pull requests, builds, and deployments, all mixed together with no sense of what's urgent. Real incidents get lost in the noise, and the same alert can fire multiple times.

Who it fits

Engineering teams using Azure DevOps and Slack who want to cut alert noise and only see what actually needs attention.

How it works

  1. An Azure DevOps event happens, or a daily digest time arrives
  2. The event is standardized and enriched with extra context
  3. It's scored and given a priority level
  4. Duplicate or repeated alerts are filtered out
  5. It's posted to the right Slack channel based on urgency
What you get

Alert noise cut down to what matters

Azure DevOps events get scored, deduplicated, and delivered to the right Slack channel so your team sees what actually needs attention.

What you get

Prioritized Slack alerts for urgent issues, plus a daily digest for everything else.

What you need

An Azure DevOps organization and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
