A ginger shot, fresh off the line, was the first stop for many visitors at SAP’s booth at Hannover Messe. But the real takeaway was seeing AI in action. From mixing the ginger shot to packaging and warehouse delivery, visitors saw how SAP is turning AI ambition into real-world manufacturing execution, delivering end-to-end supply chain management processes, and building the resilience every manufacturer needs.

TL;DR: Coding agents excel at writing code fast, but code produced fast is not the same as code that truly works. Debugging it after the fact is often the most expensive way to utilize AI. Every fix cycle with the agent, waiting for a new attempt, then testing it again can quickly turn enthusiasm into frustration. Our agentic code quality funnel changed the equation.

What happens when you let Claude Code run the full debugging loop​

TL;DR: Intermittent HTTP 400, full agent flow only, every isolated test passing. Root cause: two conflicting sets of SAP AI Core credentials coexisting silently in the same Kubernetes secret - standalone production vars that the SDK prioritised over the staging service key, causing every token request to fetch from the wrong OAuth endpoint. The agent connected to staging with a production token. SAP's proxy rejected it: tenant not found. We were stuck. Nothing pointed anywhere obvious. A team of 2–3 engineers would have spent 12–15 hours total on this. Claude Code did it in 60 minutes, on claude-sonnet-4.5, averaging ~20 tokens of human input per turn.

We are pleased to announce the launch of a refreshed SAP Architecture Center. After weeks of development and community feedback, we have reimagined the platform to deliver a more engaging, intuitive, and powerful experience for architects, developers, and SAP professionals worldwide.

In some of the world’s most dangerous industrial environments, including oil refineries, offshore wind platforms, cement plants, and chemical facilities, human access is often limited, risky, or prohibitively expensive.

What's New in the SAP Architecture Center​

Welcome to our Q4-2025 quarterly update for the SAP Architecture Center! This quarter was all about AI—from a brand new Embodied AI Agents architecture to expanded Joule guidance covering everything from S/4HANA integration to building custom AI agents. We also added practical content on event-driven patterns and data integration.

What's New in the SAP Architecture Center​

We're excited to share the latest updates and additions to the SAP Architecture Center since our last major release in Q2-2025! Our community has been hard at work expanding the collection of reference architectures and welcoming new contributors along the way. This will be a quarterly recurring post going forward, where we spotlight newly released, updated, or retired content, along with members of the SAP ecosystem who have made their first contribution to our repository. It's also our chance to share some insights about how people are finding our site and repository.

Launching the SAP Architecture Center​

I'm pleased to announce that my team at the Office of the CTO, SAP, has officially launched the SAP Architecture Center on the SAP Learning Center.
