"Incident War Room" is an incident-response app designed for on-call teams. It presents a live timeline of the incident on a single page, updating in real-time without requiring a refresh. The app enforces a two-person approval gate for raising an incident to SEV1, requiring sign-off from two different on-call leads before any changes can be made.
This gate is enforced server-side, not just in the user interface. Once approved, a status page entry is automatically published, and runbooks for the incident's severity are displayed directly on the page. The app also features AI-drafted postmortems, where an LLM generates the root cause and action items from the timeline. The entire backend is powered by Sanity, and the app is built using Next.js 16 and the Sanity App SDK. The project was developed as part of the dev.to × Sanity Path Two hackathon.
