Biweekly Learning Drop — August Edition #1

I’m a Senior SAP Consultant at EPAM, focused on SD, MM, MDG, and integration-heavy S/4HANA projects. This digest captures what I’m actively working through — patterns I test, articles I read, people I exchange ideas with.
This is quick recap of what I’ve been exploring lately ( mid July till Aug ) — across SAP, systems thinking, and tech.
Posts
How to Compare SAP Customizing Across Systems
How to quickly identify differences in SPRO settings across environments using SCU0, SPRO tools, and transport logs.
Explain me Event-Driven Architecture — with Restaurant Analogy
Explains EDA via the restaurant model: order = event, kitchen/bar = subscribers. Systems react to events asynchronously.
How to Test SAP Sales Cloud OData API with Postman
Step-by-step for testing SAP C4C OData APIs using filters, expands, and headers inside Postman.
Postman Isn’t Just for Developers — It’s for Anyone Who Touches APIs
Why Postman is a must-have for QA, consultants, and analysts — not just devs. No coding needed.
What is Cross-Landscape Distribution (XLD) and when to use it?
Used in July–Aug to align customizing across multiple tracks. Key for managing global rollouts and retrofit.
Books
🔗 Designing Event-Driven Systems – Ben Stopford
Key concepts from this book shaped my view on decoupling, async flows, and using events as a backbone for modern integration.
