When you say there's 2-3 devs who can actually fix issues, is that because there are only 2-3 devs, or do you have more people available but they don't know how to fix? Assuming the latter, my suggestion would be: 1) Setup a weekly on-call rotation, where one of the 3 people who can fix issues is dedicated on-call (this means the other 2 can properly switch off)
2) Find some other folks who might not be able to support immediately, but are happy to learn.
3) Configure a shadow rotation so there's always a primary responder who know what they're doing and a shadow responder who can learn on the job.
4) Make it clear the shadow person has the same expectations in terms of turning up, but their job is to ask questions, write things down, etc. I did this in a former job (and wrote about it here https://monzo.com/blog/2018/09/20/on-call) and it worked pretty well. After a few months we had a healthy rotation of 8 on-callers, and a waitlist of shadow folks who wanted to join too. This advice obviously came from a point of near-zero context, so if you'd like to chat more I'd be happy to! |
