DevOps. SRE. Platform Engineering.
Same goals, different disciplines, but the nuances matter.
This post aims to clear things up, helping teams align on who owns what and how the pieces fit together 🧩

The Cost of Confusing SRE, DevOps, and Platform Engineering

🎃 Happy Halloween from Causely 👻

In a world haunted by false positives and spurious alerts, one terrifying truth remains:

Correlation is futile.

Our favorite Shark-Of-9 knows it too: you can’t guess your way to reliability!

Stay spooky. Stay causal.
