Developers are straining under the demands of ‘You build it, you run it,’ and operators are feeling more pressure too. Is it time for development and operations to be separated once again?

TLDR provided by ChatGPT:

As software development grows more complex, the devops approach, which merges software development and IT operations roles, is under scrutiny. Although devops has sped up updates and tightened feedback loops, it’s often overburdening individuals by blurring developer and operator roles. Developers have voiced reluctance to handle operations, citing the specialized skills needed. The potential solutions include realigning responsibilities to empower developers with timely information, using container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to separate developer and operator concerns, and expanding the roles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. The future of software development may require a blend of devops, SRE, and platform engineering to effectively address the growing complexity.

    Was DevOps about shifting the responsibility to developers? I thought DevOps is more about automation which is a good thing

      The DevOps I do is definitely empowering me. I would hate to have a separate admin I have to request stuff from and depend on.
