Unified Connectivity is a product area (collection of products) of SAP which deals with simplifying communication and integration between different workloads. It comprises services like the SAP BTP Connectivity service and SAP BTP Destination services, and downloadable software components like the Connectivity Proxy for Kubernetes. The area’s products are among SAP’s top services by adoption, currently used by more than 30.000 customers worldwide and powering many other core cloud services. Their features, non-functional capabilities and data center coverage are continuously growing, and their architecture is evolving with the industry’s best practices and latest technology trends.

The teams and SAP in general adhere to the secure software development lifecycle best practices. This includes validation of new code, scanning for code quality / security / intellectual property, builds / release / deploy standardized procedures, to name a few. All of this should be done in accordance with the SAP central guidelines and should be as automated as possible. On the other hand, the products in the area have a lot of differences – version control system, deployment environment, shipment model, etc. This makes the activities around building and maintaining the whole CI/CD infrastructure for the products a challenging task, but also one that is very rewarding and full of learning opportunities.

• monitor the scan results and raise concerns with the product owners and security experts

• take care of open-source version updates based on scan findings

• collaborate with the product owners on new releases

• troubleshoot and fix deployment issues

• verify newly deployed landscapes

• adhere to the industry’s best practices and the team’s high standards for code quality
