Hi, I have a blue beard and I am in the tech world. I invite you to join me as I chat about all things tech that interest me. As a developer advocate for SAP I have a lot of insight into what's happening at SAP, specifically around our Cloud Platform, AWS partnership, container apps and lots of other cool stuff. I also love coffee, bourbon, and vinyl records. So expect some of that to get mixed in with the tech talk. While I am an employee of SAP the content shared here is mine and not SAP's official content. See here for more info on where to find me. https://people.sap.com/josh.bentley
