Cloud platforms – so what? Why are more and more developers coding on cloud platforms? | | | | | | Dear Developer, Because they provide a standardized design and runtime environment to develop, extend and run applications in the cloud. They offer an abstraction layer for the underlying infrastructure and take away the burden of managing all the lower-level infrastructure complexity such as load-balancing, disaster recovery (DR), high-availability (HA), fail-over scenarios (FO) and elasticity ... just to name a few. This way, development organisations can focus on developing their business solution based on this standardized environment and the comprehensive set of capabilities, services and APIs offered by the platform. Typical use cases While cloud platforms have to cater to and support a broad variety of usage scenarios we see four major use cases: - New cloud solutions (e.g. LoB solutions or verticals) that leverage the in-memory capabilities of the underlying SAP HANA database platform
- On-premise extensions that extend or connect to existing on-premise systems and use the cloud as an outbound channel for easier access and providing a first-class user experience (e.g. such as Fiori)
- Cloud extensions that extend the functionality of existing SaaS solutions
- Internet of Things (IoT)
What is SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP)? HCP is based on SAP HANA, SAP's in-memory database platform. To facilitate the rapid development of cloud applications the platform provides a vast set of platform services for the most common pattern in software engineering such as persistence, connectivity, identity and document management and so forth. Addressing the needs it requires to develop first-class business applications these application management services are complemented by profiling and monitoring tools, logging capabilities and remote debugging of cloud applications. | | | | | This promotional e-mail provides information on SAP’s products and services that may be of interest to you.
