What is All Quiet?

All Quiet is automating the incident ritual: war rooms, routing order, repeat-alert suppression.

All Quiet shipped thirteen changes in twenty-five days, a dense run for an on-call product. The work clusters in three places: integrations gaining two-way sync and field-level mapping across Jira, Salesforce and Linear; status pages gaining editorial control over incident times and comment visibility; and the alerting path itself gaining snoozing of similar incidents and explicit drag-and-drop routing order. Scoped API keys and personal access tokens arrived on August 25, framed around giving agents least-privilege access.

What is incident.io?

Alert rate limits stop being per-source and start being per-tenant, by query.

Investigations went generally available on 5 August, with Nexus posting a root-cause hypothesis and its evidence into the incident channel minutes after declaration. The releases since have been the operational surround: a 24/7 schedule coverage policy that flags gaps before a rotation goes unstaffed, more filtering in Insights, agent-written status page updates, and a resource-by-resource Terraform provider rework. This release lets an alert source extract a value from the incoming payload with a query expression and shard its rate limit on that value, so one noisy customer or cluster no longer consumes the whole source's budget.

All Quiet is automating the incident ritual: war rooms, routing order, repeat-alert suppression.

◆ Current state

All Quiet shipped thirteen changes in twenty-five days, a dense run for an on-call product. The work clusters in three places: integrations gaining two-way sync and field-level mapping across Jira, Salesforce and Linear; status pages gaining editorial control over incident times and comment visibility; and the alerting path itself gaining snoozing of similar incidents and explicit drag-and-drop routing order. Scoped API keys and personal access tokens arrived on August 25, framed around giving agents least-privilege access.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is toward All Quiet running the incident rather than only paging about it. Dynamic incident channels open a war room in Slack, Teams or Mattermost on a severity trigger, invite whoever is on call, and archive it afterward, which is coordination work a responder used to do by hand. Routing is becoming explicit rather than incidental, with rules evaluated in an order you set instead of alphabetically. Underneath, the API is being prepared for non-human callers: scoped credentials that return 403 out of scope, published per-key rate limits, and outbound logs stripped of payload data. That credential work is parity with larger incident vendors rather than new ground, but the framing says plainly who All Quiet expects to be calling.

◆ Prediction

Expect the war-room automation to grow post-incident output, a timeline or review draft assembled from the channel, since All Quiet now controls both the channel's creation and its archival. Further integrations will likely ship in the same two-way, field-mapped shape as Jira and Salesforce rather than as one-way notifications.

Alert rate limits stop being per-source and start being per-tenant, by query.

◆ Current state

Investigations went generally available on 5 August, with Nexus posting a root-cause hypothesis and its evidence into the incident channel minutes after declaration. The releases since have been the operational surround: a 24/7 schedule coverage policy that flags gaps before a rotation goes unstaffed, more filtering in Insights, agent-written status page updates, and a resource-by-resource Terraform provider rework. This release lets an alert source extract a value from the incoming payload with a query expression and shard its rate limit on that value, so one noisy customer or cluster no longer consumes the whole source's budget.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel. Nexus started inside the incident channel doing diagnosis and has moved outward to the customer-facing artifact. The second is platform work for customers running at scale — coverage policies, escalation routing, and now rate limiting that understands the shape of the payload rather than treating a source as one undifferentiated stream. Sharded limits are what you build when a single alert source fronts many tenants, which says something about the size of the deployments driving the roadmap.

◆ Prediction

Rate limits that read a query expression out of the payload share machinery with routing and deduplication, so the same expression surfacing in alert routing rules is the likely next step. The changelog entry does not say.
