Hey folks! By now, you've probably heard us yap about SRE and DevOps. Maybe you've even read our previous articles on these topics? (If not, go check them out!) So, let's tackle the million-dollar question: What's the difference between SRE and DevOps? Are they enemies, best buds, or something in between? Let's break it down!
SRE vs DevOps: the basics
Let's start simple. DevOps is all about speeding up software development and delivery, right? On the other hand, SRE is like the babysitter who ensures that it stays up and running once the software is out there. They're different but also quite similar. Like cousins, maybe?
Different responsibilities but the same goal
DevOps peeps focus on creating a pipeline where software can move smoothly from the developer's laptop straight to the end-users. SRE specialists, meanwhile, use that pipeline to keep things stable. One's building the road, and the other's patrolling it.
Skills: techie vs techie
Tech skills? Both camps need them. DevOps needs to know coding and tools for automation. SRE specialists are also code-savvy, but add a dash of problem-solving with a sprinkle of system admin skills: different flavors, same delicious tech stew.
