Kyma (pronounced /'ki.ma/) is an opinionated set of Kubernetes-based modular building blocks designed to provide all the necessary capabilities for developing and running enterprise-grade cloud-native applications. It serves as an open path to the SAP ecosystem, supporting end-to-end business scenarios with a transparent, vendor-neutral architecture.

The main features and capabilities of Kyma include:

• Pre-Integrated Open-Source Stack: Accelerates cloud-native application development using pre-integrated, enterprise-grade modules built on open-source technologies like Istio, NATS, and OpenTelemetry.

• Infrastructure Abstraction: Enables developers to build faster by abstracting underlying infrastructure complexities and focusing directly on microservice-driven business logic.

• Ecosystem & SAP Integration: Acts as an integration layer and runtime designed to extend and connect third-party systems as well as SAP services end-to-end.

• Streamlined Security & Tooling: Eliminates the complexity of manual tool selection and maintenance through a pre-updated, modularly maintained environment.

• Enterprise Reliability & Openness: Combines developer agility with production-grade reliability, backed by SAP's commitment to open-source innovation and community transparency.

• Industry Adoption: Used across enterprise organizations and consulting partners—including SAP, Accenture, NETCONOMY, Neteleven, Arithnea, Digital Lights, FAIR, Sysbit, Arineo, and dotSource.
