While total automation is possible to a large extent, DevOps engineers can\u2019t just run a process and then leave it. They need to quickly react in the event of downtime and incidents. Usually, it\u2019s important to react as fast as possible because downtime for even a few minutes <a href=\"\/blog\/2020\/03\/08\/what-is-the-cost-of-downtime\/\">can cost from $2,300 to $9,000 according to the Ponemon Institute in 2016<\/a> and a 14-hour outrage cost Facebook an estimated $90 million in March 2019. That\u2019s why we decided to review the best DevOps Slack apps to help your team reduce downtime and improve efficiency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every DevOps engineer needs a way to find out about system failures. The most popular channels are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SMS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile app notification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to talk here about Slack as it&#8217;s one of the easiest and most popular communication tools. Most likely, your team already uses it, you have it installed on your desktop and mobile, and you won\u2019t need to do any additional setup. It\u2019s fast and convenient to use. Slack is not only a good messenger, but it has a lot of applications for DevOps engineers that will help increase the efficiency of your work processes. We decided to collect together the best Slack apps for DevOps alerts and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_10_DevOps_Slack_Apps_that_will_help_you_to_increase_work_efficiency\"><\/span>Top 10 DevOps Slack Apps that will help you to increase work efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-gator-dark-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8abfc245e7733761c650c6b8835b9623\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"StatusGator\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\">StatusGator<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our status page monitoring service, <a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\/use-cases\/devops\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">StatusGator<\/a>, will help you monitor more than 2,770+ cloud services like <a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\/services\/amazon-web-services\">AWS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\/services\/azure\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azure<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\/services\/google-cloud\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Cloud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/statusgator.com\/services\/github\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GitHub<\/a>, and many more.
