How SAP paved the road for 30k+ developers

At SAP we have 30k+ people working in our development organization, with 1k+ products on our price list using various technology stacks.Backed by in-house user research and industry trends we decided to lower our team's cognitive load by introducing an in-house CI/CD platform called 'Hyperspace'.
Talk abstract

Dirk will talk about the obstacles of creating 'Hyperspace':

  • How we applied a "platform as a product" approach to an organization that was highly fragmented
  • Concepts of Paved Roads (a.k.a. Golden Paths) and how this helped us provide teams with guidance to reduce cognitive and support load on central teams
  • Share learnings from the last 2.5 years since we started Hyperspace including what worked and what didn’t

However we firstly needed to identify which dots were worthy. In this talk, we share lessons from our platform journey to improve developer experience from a fragmented approach to an integral approach; the developer journey.
