Introduction to services
Services scope your infrastructure in Spike. Each service can hold multiple integrations and map to a microservice, product area, or team.
A service in Spike represents a distinct part of your infrastructure — a backend API, a payments module, a worker queue. Every integration belongs to a service, and every incident is tied to one.
Why services matter
Services give you a clean way to track incidents by area. When something breaks, you can see exactly which service is involved, who owns it, and what's happening across your stack.
Affected services
When an incident is triggered, its service is marked as affected. If multiple integrations fire at once, Spike surfaces all the involved services in one view — so responders know where to focus.
