Performance Architecture
Performance Architecture covers the systematic design of SAP landscapes, applications, and integrations to meet response time, throughput, scalability, and resource-efficiency requirements across ECC, S/4HANA (on-premise, private cloud, public cloud), and BTP/cloud extensions, including trade-off analysis, sizing, workload classification, monitoring strategy, and governance for sustained performance under Clean Core and hybrid integration constraints.

Lessons in this topic
- Sustaining Performance Architecture Over Time: Governance, Cost, and Roadmap EvolutionEstablishes the operating model for keeping a performance architecture healthy after go-live: governance cadence, cost/capacity management, regression prevention, and how the roadmap evolves as workloads, clean core boundaries, and cloud services change.
- Trade-offs in Distributed Performance Architecture: Batch, Real-Time, and Hybrid WorkloadsExplore the architectural trade-offs between batch, real-time, and hybrid processing patterns in distributed SAP landscapes, including workload management, parallel processing, and the performance cost of security and clean core boundaries.
- Building Performance Budgets and Workload Profiles Across ECC, S/4HANA, and BTPExplains how to translate high-level performance expectations into concrete performance budgets and workload profiles, and how these differ across ECC, S/4HANA deployment options, and BTP-based extensions.
- Defining Performance NFRs and Sizing BaselinesLearn how to translate vague business expectations into measurable performance non-functional requirements and use them to drive sizing, monitoring baselines, and acceptance criteria across ECC, S/4HANA, and BTP.
- Foundations of Performance Architecture: Why It Matters Before You Write a Line of CodeIntroduces what performance architecture means in SAP projects, why it must be planned early, and the core dimensions architects must balance: response time, throughput, scalability, and resource cost.
