Ankit Mehta

Ankit Mehta has spent more than twenty years building and running cloud infrastructure, working across DevOps and enterprise architecture for systems that could not afford to go down quietly. He founded Vigiles to build the incident management platform he wanted as an engineer, one that covers the whole lifecycle from the first failed check to the final postmortem.

He is an AWS Community Builder and an Alibaba Cloud MVP, and he is FinOps certified. In 2026 he spoke at AWS Summit Singapore on agentic incident response, covering how AI agents can search, read, and act during an incident.

He writes here about monitoring, incident response, on-call, and the day-to-day reality of keeping production reliable. The posts come from doing the work rather than from a content calendar, which is why most of them start with something that actually went wrong.
