Do you prefer to develop as a developer or want to specialize in SRE?

The choice between developing as a developer and specializing in SRE depends on personal interests and goals.

If you enjoy creating and improving software, solving development tasks, writing code, and working with architecture — it is worth developing as a developer.

If you are interested in system reliability, infrastructure automation, monitoring, incident management, and ensuring uninterrupted service operation — the SRE direction will be suitable.

Some specialists combine both roles, which broadens their competencies and opportunities. It is important to understand what aligns more with your spirit and where you want to develop further.
