All Quiet vs Dokku: at a glance
What is All Quiet?
All Quiet moves from enterprise integrations to the on-call engineer's own day.
All Quiet is an incident management and on-call tool. Three releases on 28 September rebuilt the on-call calendar with effective and detailed views and overrides from any cell, added recurring snooze windows per integration plus detection of incidents that resolve themselves quickly, and introduced a personal on-call dashboard with shift summaries and noise metrics. Before that, August and early September added scoped API keys, Salesforce and Jira two-way sync and webhook rate-limit alerts.
What is Dokku?
Dokku's autumn patches swap new features for safer deploys and stricter validation.
The 0.38 line reached v0.38.34 in late October, and the recent releases are mostly about correctness. Deploy locks now release on exit and honor apps:lock, app names and arguments are validated across commands, config write failures are reported, and dokku run propagates exit codes. Smaller additions include a --no-cache flag for ps:rebuild, per-entry cron MAILTO and a configurable nginx proxy HTTP version.

All Quiet
0.0INFRA · APIS
All Quiet moves from enterprise integrations to the on-call engineer's own day.
◆ Current state
All Quiet is an incident management and on-call tool. Three releases on 28 September rebuilt the on-call calendar with effective and detailed views and overrides from any cell, added recurring snooze windows per integration plus detection of incidents that resolve themselves quickly, and introduced a personal on-call dashboard with shift summaries and noise metrics. Before that, August and early September added scoped API keys, Salesforce and Jira two-way sync and webhook rate-limit alerts.
◆ Where it's heading
The summer work targeted buyers: access control and integrations that larger organisations require. The September work targets responders: less noise, clearer schedules and a view of one's own shifts. Noise detection for auto-resolving incidents is the most consequential piece, since it turns alert fatigue into a metric teams can act on.
◆ Prediction
Expect noise metrics to feed into suppression or routing rules, since detection without action is the obvious next gap. The feed has no entries after 28 September.
Dokku
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dokku's autumn patches swap new features for safer deploys and stricter validation.
◆ Current state
The 0.38 line reached v0.38.34 in late October, and the recent releases are mostly about correctness. Deploy locks now release on exit and honor apps:lock, app names and arguments are validated across commands, config write failures are reported, and dokku run propagates exit codes. Smaller additions include a --no-cache flag for ps:rebuild, per-entry cron MAILTO and a configurable nginx proxy HTTP version.
◆ Where it's heading
The August k3s parity push has given way to a hardening pass through commands that used to fail quietly. A second thread makes configuration declarative: storage mounts, scheduler-k3s metadata and chart overrides each gained a whole-set form, which suits automation tools more than people at a terminal. Machine use of the CLI remains the through-line.
◆ Prediction
Expect the whole-set form to reach more properties, since three subsystems have now gained it. Patch releases should stay frequent, and the notes give no sign of a move past the 0.38 line.
