[Verse 1] They built a platform team but called it DevOps Assigned them tickets like a broken-down help desk But platforms are products with roadmaps and vision Not reactive crews fixing every submission Engineering minds should architect solutions Not patch up problems in endless confusion [Chorus] Product not tickets, that's the platform way Build once, solve ten, make the chaos fade away SRE writes code when they're not on call Fifty-fifty split or the model will fall InfoSec sets standards, not approval gates These functions have purpose, don't seal their fates [Verse 2] Site Reliability means engineering first Half your time coding, or the balance gets worse Toil budget's sacred, track every hour spent If operations consume you, the system's been bent Don't hire more bodies for the reactive grind Fix what creates toil, automate by design [Chorus] Product not tickets, that's the platform way Build once, solve ten, make the chaos fade away SRE writes code when they're not on call Fifty-fifty split or the model will fall InfoSec sets standards, not approval gates These functions have purpose, don't seal their fates [Bridge] Three requests masking one deeper flaw Product thinking sees what others never saw Risk management, not review bureaucracy Standards that enable, not complexity When functions drift from their intended role Systems fragment, losing central control [Chorus] Product not tickets, that's the platform way Build once, solve ten, make the chaos fade away SRE writes code when they're not on call Fifty-fifty split or the model will fall InfoSec sets standards, not approval gates These functions have purpose, don't seal their fates [Outro] Platform teams with vision, SRE with code InfoSec with frameworks, sharing the load Purpose-driven functions, not ticket queues Know what you're building, that's how systems cruise
