How SAP Community Uses Gatsby & Contentstack to Boost Page Speed and Content Velocity

SAP Community, a platform for SAP developers and customers to engage collaboratively, has significantly improved its operations by migrating to Gatsby and Contentstack, enhancing page speed, content velocity, and user satisfaction. This transition allowed for more frequent content updates, as evidenced by 160 pushes into production in a single week, and improved SEO rankings due to enhanced page performance. The integration of modern tools like Figma and Storybook has facilitated component design and development, while a larger tech stack, including WordPress and Kafka, supports various functionalities like moderation and search. The migration resulted in a noticeable increase in community satisfaction and feature velocity, enabling more complex user scenarios and expanding content offerings, such as multi-language support and live content aggregation. Ultimately, the new setup has been well-received across the board, with content editors, the business, and development teams all expressing satisfaction with the improved workflows and capabilities.
