Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy and à titre personnel, I have written well over 300 articles for the SAP Community. Some posts only reached a handful of readers, others attracted quite a few more.

For your reading pleasure and convenience, below a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view milestone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month.

Good reads?

Certification


SAP


Posts about how to get certified are generally well received. The posts about the sample questions concern those made available by SAP Training complemented with comments and references.

For some exams there is an article for each edition, below only the latest versions

About why and how to get certified, see

Microsoft Azure


Many enterprises run their SAP workloads on Azure and getting certified on the platform is clearly a topic of interest.

Google Cloud Platform


Although there is no dedicated SAP workloads certification yet for the Google Cloud Platform, here as well we note a strong interest.

AWS


Not part of the 10K club yet, but almost halfway after just a few weeks after publication and hopefully on its way

 




SAP HANA


What's in a Name


The ubiquitous presence of the term HANA in SAP's products and services over time was not always clear to everyone, judging by the interest for a "cheat" sheet

What's New


As of June 2021, the only version of the SAP HANA platform in mainstream maintenance is SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 05. Posts about migration, highlights, and the differences with earlier releases were read with interest.

SAP HANA 2.0


Posted a series of articles to promote the SAP PRESS book SAP HANA 2.0 - An Introduction, about the quotes in the book, a bit of history, or topics that were beyond the scope of the book.


Should you be interested in writing a book for SAP PRESS yourself, here's a witness account

Installation and Update - by the SAP HANA Academy


For the SAP HANA Academy, we have recorded many tutorial videos about the SAP HANA platform;  the YouTube channel now has over 80K subscribers!

Blog post with videos embedded with some additional commentary and references also attracted many readers. Below the posts covering the latest SPS.

Besides installation and updates, many articles have also been posted about administration, security, and other topics, again with the tutorial videos embedded, e.g.

SAP Analytics Cloud


Like most of the SAP HANA Academy team, we joined SAP through with the Business Objects acquisition and kept an affinity for business intelligence and analytics.

ABAP


Steampunk, a.k.a. the SAP BTP ABAP environment / platform as-a-service has attracted a lot of interested since its first release. To help you get started, philip.mugglestone from the SAP HANA Academy recorded a sterling video tutorial series. Here is the post with videos embedded.
