Devops, SRE, and platform engineering roles are crucial for modern software development, but they have distinct goals. Understand how each one contributes to speed, stability, and developer experience.
Many modern development teams incorporate devops, site reliability engineering (SRE), and platform engineering—or at least they claim to. But figuring out what each of these buzzwords actually means can be a slippery proposition, and at first glance they cover much of the same ground.
We spoke to a number of developers and engineering leaders (some of whom have one or more of these terms in their job title) to get their take on how devops, SRE, and platform engineering differ, and how they overlap. Denis Tiumentsev, who is currently lead devops engineer at Integro Technologies but has worked in all three areas in the past, put it this way: “Devops is the why, SRE is how to ensure reliability, and platform engineering is how to scale it and make it easy for everyone.” Let’s dive into the details.
