In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan unpack what a good incident response actually looks like, from the moment an issue is discovered to recovery, communication, and learning afterward.
They dive into real-world incident management practices: defining incident severity, assigning the right roles, running mock incidents, validating backups, and communicating clearly without panic. The conversation also tackles one of the hardest topics in engineering culture: blameless postmortems and psychological safety.
If you care about DevOps, security, platform engineering, or building resilient teams that learn from failure rather than hide it, this episode is for you.

Who really controls your cloud, and why does it matter now?
In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan dive into Europe’s growing shift toward sovereign cloud.
