Where it runs:

  • On SAP BTP or any external cloud platform
  • Communicates with SAP S/4HANA via APIs (ODATA, REST, BAPI, etc.)

 Typical Use Cases:

  • Creating new apps without changing the core
  • Complex integrations with third-party systems
  • Mobile apps or web portals
  • Machine learning or advanced analytics scenarios

 Pros:

  • Decoupled from core = less impact on upgrades
  • Greater flexibility with tools and languages (e.g., Java, Node.js, Python)
  • Scalable and cloud-native development
  • Ideal for innovation scenarios

 Cons:

  • Requires setting up integration (APIs, authentication, etc.)
  • Potential latency (depending on use case)
  • Higher architectural complexity
