[Verse 1] DevOps team is pushing code, release train ready to roll But SRE waves the crimson flag, error budget's lost control InfoSec blocks the gateway, says the review ain't complete Three functions at the crossroads where authority and urgency meet [Chorus] Security's the concrete floor, you cannot dig below Reliability's the ceiling height, determines how you grow Velocity fills the space between, optimization's game When the three functions clash and burn, hierarchy tames the flame Compliance first, then stability, speed gets what remains Non-negotiable, then reliable, then fast as you can manage the chains [Verse 2] Regulated environments don't bend for shipping dates Audit findings torpedo ships, compliance never waits Within that rigid boundary, SRE draws the line Error budgets aren't suggestions, they're the guardrails by design [Chorus] Security's the concrete floor, you cannot dig below Reliability's the ceiling height, determines how you grow Velocity fills the space between, optimization's game When the three functions clash and burn, hierarchy tames the flame Compliance first, then stability, speed gets what remains Non-negotiable, then reliable, then fast as you can manage the chains [Bridge] Not all constraints are equal weight Some bend and some will break your fate Control violations end the race But speed can flex within its space [Verse 3] So when the standoff escalates and tensions start to fray Remember who holds veto power in this corporate ballet InfoSec's the iron rule, SRE's the measured guide DevOps optimizes freely in whatever space they provide [Final Chorus] Security's the concrete floor, you cannot dig below Reliability's the ceiling height, determines how you grow Velocity fills the space between, optimization's game When the three functions clash and burn, hierarchy tames the flame Compliance first, then stability, speed gets what remains Three functions, clear precedence, that's how the system maintains
