"Here @ Server Density we monitor 100.000+ servers processing 2B metrics a day. Downtime is critical for us, that's why we keep training to react to incidents. We organize our internal War Games were all engineers practice the processes involved in incident handling. We have seen how this improves the associated human factors, our processes and our tools."
