Series of "Did You Know" videos

Here's a collection of pointers to short "Did You Know" videos from the Developer Advocates, highlighting small but interesting and useful aspects of various SAP tech tools, frameworks and products.

In the run up to SAP TechEd 2025, the Developer Advocates put together a series of short videos on tech topics, in a "Did You Know" series. A bit like our collection of YouTube Shorts "Good To Know" series (on CAP Node.js and on ABAP Cloud), but in landscape mode with a bit more detail.
