It is easy and good

You get paged at 2 AM. You open your laptop, rub your eyes, find the right Slack channel, create a new incident channel, invite the on-call secondary, paste the PagerDuty link, open a Google Doc, dig up the Zoom bridge URL, and post it in the channel.
That just took six to eight minutes. During those minutes, nobody was investigating anything. Users were hitting errors. Revenue was burning. And the only thing that happened was plumbing.
ChatOps exists because that plumbing should take four seconds, not six minutes. Monzo published in 2020 that their ChatOps bot provisions a dated Slack channel, a Google Doc from a template, a Zoom bridge, and a draft Statuspage incident in under four seconds from the PagerDuty webhook. Before the bot, their engineers burned roughly six to eight minutes of every SEV1 on setup work.
This lesson covers what ChatOps actually does during those first critical seconds, how to build a command system that does not become a security liability, and where the pattern breaks down.
