What we shipped, how much Spike grew, and a long list of stats. See past recaps: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2023-recap\/\">2023<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2024-recap\/\">2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But 2025&nbsp; felt different to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It had many moments that shaped how Spike as a product and the company looks today. Some of them were exciting. Some were uncomfortable, and all of them changed how I think about building Spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re still bootstrapped and operating lean, with a team of fewer than ten people. And we\u2019re still moving fast\u2014sometimes faster than we should, and often slower than anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, we welcomed new teammates who raised the bar for Spike. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sreekar-writer\/\">Sreekar<\/a>&nbsp;joined us to kick-start our marketing efforts and help Spike reach the right audience. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ritik-r-75a7461b6\/\">Ritik<\/a> joined our engineering team and quickly became part of the core group. I am very happy they both decided to join our team at Spike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post is a look back at 2025\u2014across product, people, content, and culture\u2014and a quiet thank you to everyone who has trusted Spike with their incidents this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<nav aria-label=\"Table of Contents\" class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents\"><ol><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#building-what-matters\">Building what matters<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#hands-on-events\">Hands-on events<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#writing-with-intent\">Writing with intent<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#first-principles-for-spike-s-culture\">First principles for Spike\u2019s culture<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#our-first-offsite\">Our first offsite<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#spike-in-numbers\">Spike in Numbers<\/a><ol><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#alerts\">Alerts<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#incidents\">Incidents<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#on-call\">On-call<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#marketing\">Marketing<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/#looking-forward\">Looking Forward<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/nav>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"building-what-matters\">Building what matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, we stayed focused on Spike\u2019s core areas: better alerts, a more flexible on-call setup, and making incident management easier overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designing alert flows, alert rules, and escalations continued to dominate most of our discussions and attention this year. We made many small decisions in this area, and almost all of them had an outsized impact on how Spike behaves when it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every change we shipped went out through our <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/changelog\">changelog<\/a> to our users\u2019 inboxes, and they read and replied with feedback that has greatly mattered to us. Roughly around 75% of the features we released this year came directly from user suggestions, and I\u2019m deeply grateful for that. <em><strong>Thank you!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the end of the year, we shifted our attention more heavily towards on-call. As our user base grew in 2024, we received a lot of feedback around how difficult it was to set up on-call flexibly during the holidays. Honestly, at the time, we were late to fully act on it. Over the course of 2025, though we worked towards closing that gap, and in the last quarter, we implemented many of those long-standing requests so teams could go into the holidays better prepared. After releasing, we got even more <a href=\"https:\/\/roadmap.spike.sh\/104\">feedback<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I must take a moment to mention the strong adoption of Spike\u2019s mobile app in \u201825. For many teams, the mobile app became a primary way to interact with Spike during incidents, and rebuilding it gave us a stronger foundation. We rebuilt the app from the ground up. It was a hard decision to take, but the effort paid off many times over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hands-on-events\">Hands-on events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" data-attachment-id=\"4601\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/2025-recap\/events-spike\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike.png\" data-orig-size=\"1079,568\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"events @ spike\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike-1024x539.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike-1024x539.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike-1024x539.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/events-@-spike.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four weeks after Sreekar joined Spike, he and I realized we needed to do more hands-on sessions so users could make the most out of Spike. For the first time, we set up small, monthly events to walk through key features and answer questions live.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/luma.com\/spike-sh\">We ran two sessions over the year<\/a>, and we will continue to do more going forward. I personally enjoyed these sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking through the product and answering questions firsthand was incredibly rewarding. Although participation was modest\u2014<em>and that\u2019s okay<\/em>\u2014we started this as an experiment. What mattered more was that people showed up and left with more clarity. That was enough for us to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"writing-with-intent\">Writing with intent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took writing seriously in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sreekar spent weeks debating and writing what we believe are some of the most thoughtful <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/category\/comparison\/pagerduty\/\">PagerDuty<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/category\/comparison\/opsgenie\/\">OpsGenie alternative pieces<\/a> on the internet. We were very clear about one thing from the start: we did not want to publish mindless listicles. PagerDuty and OpsGenie are respected products, and we respect them too. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/opsgenie-shutdown-what-you-need-to-know-and-your-next-steps\/\">Atlassian is shutting down OpsGenie<\/a>, we have also covered a huge ground with <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/category\/comparison\/jsm\/\">Jira Service Management<\/a> as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sreekar went deep by signing up, testing, comparing features, and then coming back to debate every detail with us. We spent <em><strong>days<\/strong><\/em> discussing what mattered, what didn\u2019t, and how to present our perspective honestly. The result was not a generic comparison, but an opinionated one. Largely his opinion, shaped by real use and discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re proud of this kind of content. It reflects how we think about Spike\u2014clear opinions that are grounded in experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, we also published a <s>large<\/s> massive glossary covering <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/glossary\">incident response terms from A to Z<\/a>. We shared these terms over 26 days across Twitter and LinkedIn, one letter at a time. Along the way, our <a href=\"https:\/\/linkedin.com\/company\/spike-hq\">LinkedIn community crossed 11,000 followers<\/a>. Thank you for reading, sharing, and following along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"first-principles-for-spike-s-culture\">First principles for Spike\u2019s culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t anticipate how much culture would matter to me when building Spike. For a long time, the only thing I cared about was the product\u2014making Spike the best possible on-call and incident response experience in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, it became clear that building something like that requires more than good engineering. It requires treating the work itself with a certain seriousness. I know, without hesitation, that Spike is the most important work I\u2019ll do in my life. And for everyone on the team today, we believe this is the best work of our lives. That belief shapes how we show up every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Spike, reliability is not a side project. When something goes wrong, we declare an incident early, even when it\u2019s uncomfortable or unclear. We\u2019ve learned a lot along the way\u2014especially about when to act fast and when to slow down\u2014but the default is always responsibility. Our users trust Spike during critical moments, and we take that trust seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honesty and transparency have become our defaults\u2014especially when things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Culture at Spike is still evolving. As we grow, we\u2019re still learning how best to carry these values forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"our-first-offsite\">Our first offsite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1024 \/ 556)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-4612\" data-id=\"4612\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 \/ 556\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-1024x556.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-1024x556.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-300x163.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-768x417.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-1536x833.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3-1200x651.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1762345678253-3.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-4613\" data-id=\"4613\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 \/ 1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-1024x1024.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-150x150.png?crop=1 150w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-1200x1200.png?crop=1 1200w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-800x800.png?crop=1 800w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-600x600.png?crop=1 600w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-400x400.png?crop=1 400w, https:\/\/blog.spike.sh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Frame-634086-1-200x200.png?crop=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took the Spike team to Goa for three days of food, beaches, and deep talks about what&#8217;s next for incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was our first time all together.

We even met\u00a0Sreekar\u00a0in person after six months of working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We spoke about the future, the OpsGenie migration wave, and how Spike can help different teams.

Teams want alerts where they already spend their day, and WhatsApp delivers that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email came in second with 51,683 alerts. <strong>Phone calls hit 46,870<\/strong>, reserved for the moments that truly demand immediate attention. Slack followed close behind with 46,329 alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Push notifications, MS Teams alerts, SMS, Telegram, Discord, and app notifications accounted for the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"incidents\">Incidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spike handled <strong>4,069,709 incidents<\/strong> this year. That&#8217;s over 11,000 incidents every single day, or roughly <strong>8 incidents every minute<\/strong>. More incidents mean more systems under monitoring and more teams trusting Spike when things break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each incident represents a real problem that needed attention. A service that went down, an API that stopped responding, a disk that filled up, or a deployment that failed. Spike caught them all and routed them to the right people at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"on-call\">On-call<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams rotated <strong>71,411 on-call shifts<\/strong> this year. That&#8217;s up from 53,000 in 2024. A 35% jump that shows more teams adopted structured on-call rotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like last year, most on-call overrides happened around Christmas and the year-end break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth in total shifts tells that more engineers joined on-call rotations, more services got dedicated coverage, and teams further spread the on-call load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marketing\">Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We published <strong>92 new blogs<\/strong> this year. That&#8217;s nearly two posts every week. The focus was quality over quantity, with deep dives into incident management, alerting, on-call, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of our best blogs from 2025 :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/oncall-schedules-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">On-Call Schedules: Everything You Need to Know<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/automated-incident-response\/\">Automated Incident Response for DevOps, SREs, and IT Teams<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/pagerduty-vs-spike-incident-management\/\">PagerDuty vs. Spike: Which Incident Management Tool is Better in 2025<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/an-ode-to-opsgenie\/\">An Ode to OpsGenie: A Look Back at One of Ops&#8217; Most Loved Tools<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also sent <strong>17 changelog newsletters<\/strong> this year. Each one shared new features, improvements, and updates. Changelogs kept users in the loop about what we shipped and why it mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, our marketing efforts in 2025 focused on helping both new and experienced incident managers discover better ways to handle incidents. We wrote for teams searching for alternatives to legacy tools. We kept our users consistently updated through changelogs so they never missed what we shipped.
