Question

Forgive me if this question has been asked answered already I am eager to hear how your companies are structuring the SRE and Platform Engineering functions Are they in one org Do these functions ultimately report to the same leader How are the responsibilities divided among SREs and Platform engineers Are you SREs embedded with the dev teams From my research I am seeing a ton of different models and am eager to hear what is working for teams of 150ish developers

Mike Hoskins · Answer

as another pointed out i feel you need a combination of expertise spanning ops infra often called devops engineers though i don t believe in devops as a title SWE focused on solid development like building portals writing custom operators etc and SRE thinking about reliablity of the platform SLI SLO observability and common SRE tasks this is thinking about IDP at scale to get started you can obviously have a lot less but this ven diagram is the ideal combination in my mind for a platform to be sustainable as it grows with the right focus on features balanced with stability
