I think there are two kinds of Production Engineers:

- DevOps only, as in Terraform or CloudFormation or CDK but not much else

- DevOps/SRE/DX, where you have engineers who handle DevOps as part of a mix of Platform Engineering, where your Platform team is able to guide and assist Product /Experience and Data teams on every part of the Developer Experience, from infra to on-call

I think it's the Platform Engineering model that has the most value; I don't know that DevOps without the rest of the package is as valuable
