In today's competitive landscape, achieving scalability, resilience, and rapid innovation is important for organizations seeking digital transformation. This paper describes how Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Platform Engineering can be used to help drive these transformations. Integrating SRE practices with robust platform engineering methodologies allows organizations to develop the tools they need to build scalable, high-performing, and resilient systems. The paper discusses methodologies used, a mixed-method approach combining qualitative case studies and quantitative performance metrics, to evaluate the impact of SRE and Platform Engineering. Results from case studies across multiple organizations indicate important improvements in uptime, recovery time, scalability, and overall efficiency of the systems. This work highlights the crucial role that these engineering practices play in enabling digital transformation and operational excellence.
