Services pulled out of the SAP monolith so departments can build their own applications

We redesigned Lekkerland's SAP data platform as a self-service tool: individual services extracted from the SAP monolith, so departments build on company data directly and the path to S/4HANA is clear.

The Challenge

At Lekkerland, company data sat inside an SAP monolith, so specialized departments depended on central IT for new services and applications. That slowed development. A planned upgrade to SAP S/4HANA also needed an architecture that would not have to be rebuilt again.

The Approach

We conceptualized and redeveloped the platform as a self-service tool for company data from SAP. We extracted individual services from the SAP monolith into a modular architecture built on PHP, Symfony and API Platform, with Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging and Redis and Postgres for data. Everything runs in Docker on Kubernetes, delivered through CI/CD pipelines. Specialized departments can now develop and deliver services on top of it themselves.

The Results

Departments now build and deliver services and applications without waiting on central IT, which reduced that dependency and sped up development. The modular architecture is simpler than the monolith it replaces. Lekkerland can now upgrade to SAP S/4HANA on an architecture that is already prepared for it.
