SRE vs DevOps vs Platform

These overlap in practice, but they are not the same thing.

DevOps

Culture and collaboration

Break silos, shorten feedback loops, improve delivery flow.

SRE

Measured reliability system

Use SLOs, error budgets, automation, and postmortems to balance stability and speed.

Platform

Internal product for engineers

Create self-service golden paths so product teams can ship safely by default.

DevOps asks How do teams work better together?

→

SRE asks What reliability target are we meeting, and how much change can we afford?

→

Platform asks What paved road helps teams do the right thing repeatedly?
