Alert fatigue is a reliability problem
What it looks like
Alert fatigue happens when teams stop trusting notifications. People mute channels, ignore pages, and hesitate when something real happens.
Why it happens
Most alerts are contextless. “Latency is high” is true, but doesn’t tell you what changed, which service is affected, or whether this started after a deployment.
What to fix first
Start with the basics:
remove alerts nobody responds to
merge duplicates
page only on user-impacting issues
Where Termina fits
Termina adds context by connecting alerts to deployments and environments, helping teams understand incidents faster.
Final takeaway
Fewer alerts. Clearer context. Faster response.
