DevOps vs SRE vs Platform Engineering | Clear Big Misconceptions

 

Ever wonder how Netflix shows come to you without hitches or how Amazon keeps adding new things? Let's talk about DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering.

DevOps:

  • Think of DevOps as a friendship between the people who create software (Development) and the people who make sure it works smoothly (Operations).
  • Ever heard "You build it, you run it"? That's what Amazon follows. The team that makes the software also looks after it.
  • This means new features come to us faster.

SRE (Site Reliability Engineering):

  • Google started SRE. It's like making sure a bridge won't fall; but for software.
  • They use tools to ensure software can handle lots of users without breaking.
  • SREs are special. They use coding to solve problems and sometimes act a bit like another role called a Platform Engineer.

Platform Engineering:

  • Look at Netflix. Their Platform Engineers make sure developers have everything they need to make good software quickly.
  • They're the backbone, making sure developers can focus on the cool stuff we love.
  • It's not just tech; they also make sure everything lines up with the company's goals.

To sum it up:

  • All three (DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering) want software to be made and run smoothly.
  • They each do this in their own way.
  • It's not about the name of the job but what they do.
  • They can and should all work together for better technology.
