It seems like Datadog is defining a new career title called DRE (Database Reliability Engineers), which is IMHO a next-generation of DBA, just like DevOps.

You are so right. People now in the industry know the mechanism of money and capital much better than software. But as a software engineer who loves the technology and products that we can build from it, I would really appreciate real DBAs with in-depth skills. After all, databases are essential, and we need experts.
