Is your on-call rotation quietly burning out top talent?

An isometric illustration of a massive, tiered gray structure composed of various block sizes, resembling a complex digital architecture or city. Four small black silhouettes of people are interacting with the structure: one climbs a long ladder, while others stand at different levels or corners. Along the highest back tier, a row of tall, glowing orange and red rectangular blocks creates a stark contrast against the gray, suggesting high-priority zones or data activity.

On-call work is a fact of life for IT operations (ITOps) teams, but as systems complexity and business pressure mount,

6 agentic knowledge base patterns emerging in the wild

An illustration of a man with glasses intently reading an open book in a library. He is positioned in the foreground, illuminated by a dramatic diagonal beam of light that highlights him against the backdrop of towering, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The bookshelves are densely packed with numerous volumes, rendered in a warm, monochromatic color palette of gold, orange, and deep red.
