How SigSpan works

Three stages, no code changes required. Stage two is where the work happens.

Stage 1

Connect your monitoring

Point your existing alert emails — Nagios, Zabbix, Datadog, PagerDuty, or any tool that sends email — at your unique SigSpan address.

Stage 2

SigSpan processes

Amazon SES receives the email. An AWS Lambda function parses it, applies your routing rules, and dispatches the message via Amazon SNS. Per-tenant data is encrypted at rest with AWS KMS.

Architecture overview

Stage 3

SMS delivered

Your on-call team receives the alert as a standard SMS — no app, no internet required, just their phone.

Built for IT operations

The specifics that matter when you're routing production alerts.

Built on infrastructure you can verify

We document our stack publicly because it's the kind of substance technical buyers want to see.

SigSpan runs entirely on AWS in us-east-1. Inbound email is received via Amazon SES, parsed by AWS Lambda, persisted to DynamoDB with AWS KMS encryption at rest, and dispatched via Amazon SNS. Every message is audit-logged with a 30-day retention window. AWS WAF protects the customer-facing API in production; credentials and signing keys are held in AWS Secrets Manager.
