The SAP ID Service is SAP's identity management system for its websites
and cloud operations. The team that built it came from a background of
writing web applications in Java 1.4 for an ageing and proprietary
platform where it took up to a week just to deploy a new release after
it had passed mostly manual QA. With the SAP ID Service project starting
in 2010 the team rebooted itself: we adopted Scrum and started building
the SAP ID Service using a lean, modern and standards-based application
server built from open source components and using Continuous Delivery
for build, test and deployment. We are now at the stage where each
commit leads to a build with automated test coverage via Cucumber
followed by a blue/green deployment to a production-like QA landscape
which is provisioned from a cloud and configured automatically using
Chef. A similar deployment to production is just a couple of clicks
away, and the cloud-based technology used for this also enables
developers to provision their own landscapes using a simple web-based
tool.
