Out of genuine curiosity, do you have a list of good alternatives or some reading material on "paging" best practices? My team uses PagerDuty but I've never really questioned if there's a better method out there because the system PagerDuty replaced for us was so terrible that PagerDuty seemed like a godsend.

Google's free SRE handbook has some info.
You guys are out here giving very strong dismissals of a very good service, and then referring us to a resource you wont even bother to link? Maybe you can link the actual resources to prove your argument instead of assuming you are correct and dismissing people to figure it out on their own. Usually, the standard for conversations here is held to a higher, non-twitter level, and I for one enjoy conversations held to higher standards.
I think they must be referring to this: https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/toc/index.html
I don't see alternative services on this page (https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/chapters/monitoring-...) Do you have any alternates you would recommend?
