PagerDuty (YC S10) Raises $10.7M From Andreessen Horowitz For IT Alert Service

Do one thing that is useful, try to do it very well, have paying happy customers ASAP: you are building a good business, very well deserved.<p>More startups should do business to business IMHO.

Congrats! Excited to see where they're going. I already have a love/hate relationship with PD for occasionally waking me up at 3:00AM :)

We have about 20 users in PD. They live and die by this system. Love these guys and have never seen a product like it.

PagerDuty is an awesome product, and Alex is a super nice guy. It's a great combination of a not-incredibly-sexy area with hair-on-fire customers. Really excited to see them continuing to grow out and help people.<p>Congrats guys!

At first I thought, "why the heck would I pay these guys?" I can get nagios to do this for me. But, I was totally wrong. I see the value. PD seems like a really cool product that I'll have to try out. Thank you HackerNews!

"Andreessen Horowitz Partner John O’Farrell said that there are studies that show it costs $300,000 for a one-hour outage."<p>Huh, what? One hour of outage for who? What? Context is everything.<p>Also, this looks really good, but... what does this offer beyond coalescing of alerts that almost any 'enterprise' level monitoring software does?<p>I'm curious as to how there's $11M worth of work involved in this product needed - plus the $18-36/month/user for ongoing costs.

We sincerely appreciate the support that so many of you have given us.

It's in the App Store.

Couldn't be happier for Alex and his team. Big up Toronto startups!!

This is excellent news, very excited for these guys. I look forward to watching them grow. Truly an excellent product.

Please, please use this money to add negative-overrides. Scheduling is such a pain without that available.

Is PagerDuty the only product of its kind in the space?

AWS has an engineering team of 10,000+ people? Can that be right given Amazon has 56,000 or so total? Surely they meant an engineering team of 1,000 people.<p>Rackspace generates $1.2x billion in sales with about half that many total employees (not just on their engineering team). By most accounts I've seen, AWS is around a billion in sales as well.

Awesome work! I remember this way back when :)

Congrats folks!

Congrats guys!

wow finally!
