SRE

The internet is full of posts claiming that DevOps is dead. “DevOps is bullshit.” “Platform Engineering will replace DevOps.” “SRE is the future.” In this video, I explain why all of these claims are wrong, where they come from, and how DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering actually relate to each other.

Two years of trend predictions later, the DevOps conversation has shifted. In 2021 we talked about adoption. In 2022 we mapped trends onto the adoption lifecycle. In 2023 the most useful lens is the value stream: how products get built, run, quality-assured, monitored, organised, enabled and industrialised end-to-end. Most organisations still suffer from silos and project-based annual planning. The 2023 trends are about closing those gaps.
