What is On-Call Scheduling?
What does 'On-Call Scheduling' mean?
Rotations that decide which engineer receives an alert at any given hour, along with the escalation path if that person does not acknowledge it. Schedules typically support shifts, time zones, overrides for holidays or sick days, and secondary tiers who get paged when the primary responder is unreachable. Paired with monitoring, it makes sure a production incident reaches a human rather than an unattended inbox.
