What is Spike?

Spike is an incident management and on-call platform built by FatSync Software Pvt Ltd. The company describes it as a central place for all of a team's incidents. Its job is to alert the right person at the right time with the right incident, so that person can fix it quickly.

The product combines on-call schedules, escalations and alert routing with a status page and chat-based response. Alerts can reach people by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack. Spike also publishes iOS and Android apps, so responders can be reached on their phones.

Named customers on the site include Neat, Thndr, Sportskeeda, Virtually Human and SocialBee. A Neat senior engineer says Spike lets the team sleep soundly knowing systems are covered around the clock.

How does Spike work?

Monitoring, cloud and error-tracking tools send alerts to Spike through webhook URLs. The company says it connects to more than 80 such tools. Spike groups and de-duplicates the alerts so that related signals become a single incident rather than many pages.

Routing rules then decide what happens. The homepage shows a rule that fires if the title contains "down", if the incident has SEV1 severity, or if the payload priority is P1 or higher. The action changes the policy to call everyone, adds a responder and marks the incident P1. A marketing page typo, by contrast, does not trigger that path.

Responders can work from Slack, where they get paged, run the whole incident from a channel and ask @Spike who is on call. Spike also lists a Microsoft Teams integration.

Key features of Spike

On-call scheduling covers rotations across time zones, shift handovers and overrides for gaps in coverage. Escalation and live call routing sit alongside it. Live call routing is limited on Standard, unlimited on Business and managed by Spike on Enterprise.

Other response tools include a status page from the Standard plan, war rooms with video conferencing on Business, and incident context on Business. Business can also trigger external scripts and connect to JIRA, ClickUp and Linear.

Spike AI summarises noise and drafts updates. The company announced an MCP server that connects Spike to Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible tool so incidents can be managed through natural language. A public API and documentation are also listed.
