## What it is
Response is Monzo's open-source real-time incident response and reporting tool, distributed as a Django app with a Slack bot integration. It helps responders coordinate incidents, manage communications, and generate information-rich postmortem reports.

## Use cases
- declare and manage incidents in real time from Slack
- coordinate responders and track incident timelines
- generate postmortem and incident reports automatically
- self-host an incident management tool for an engineering team
- reduce cognitive burden on engineers during on-call incidents

## When to choose
- your team uses Slack and Django and wants a self-hosted incident tool
- you need structured incident timelines and postmortem reporting
- you want an open-source alternative to commercial incident platforms like PagerDuty Incident Response

## When to avoid
- you are not running a Django (Python) web project
- you need a turnkey SaaS with paging and alerting built in
- you need a stack outside Python/JavaScript or active commercial support

## Facets
