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 Dub?
Dub adds AI application screening as its partner program controls keep getting finer.
Dub's run since July is almost entirely Dub Partners. Programs can now auto-reject applicants against plain-language criteria, set rewards per partner or per link, pay retainer-style fixed amounts, and let existing partners apply to switch groups. Bounties and email campaigns gained tag scoping and combined conditions, while the link product got one-click DNS setup for Vercel and Cloudflare.

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.
Dub
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dub adds AI application screening as its partner program controls keep getting finer.
◆ Current state
Dub's run since July is almost entirely Dub Partners. Programs can now auto-reject applicants against plain-language criteria, set rewards per partner or per link, pay retainer-style fixed amounts, and let existing partners apply to switch groups. Bounties and email campaigns gained tag scoping and combined conditions, while the link product got one-click DNS setup for Vercel and Cloudflare.
◆ Where it's heading
The partner product is moving from commission setup to program operations. Retainers and link-level rewards widen what can be paid for, and AI now appears in two administrative jobs, reward building and application screening. Each release reduces a manual step for program operators.
◆ Prediction
Expect more AI help in program administration, since reward building and screening shipped within two months of each other. Further reward primitives are also likely given the pace since July.
