Overview of this book

SAP BTP is the foundation of SAP’s intelligent and sustainable enterprise vision for its customers. It’s efficient, agile, and an enabler of innovation. It’s technically robust, yet its superpower is its business centricity. If you’re involved in building IT and business strategies, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with SAP BTP to see the big picture for digitalization with SAP solutions. Similarly, if you have design responsibilities for enterprise solutions, learning SAP BTP is crucial to produce effective and complete architecture designs. This book teaches you about SAP BTP in five parts. First, you’ll see how SAP BTP is positioned in the intelligent enterprise. In the second part, you’ll learn the foundational elements of SAP BTP and find out how it operates. The next part covers integration architecture guidelines, integration strategy considerations, and integration styles with SAP’s integration technologies. Later, you’ll learn how to use application development capabilities to extend enterprise solutions for innovation and agility. This part also includes digital experience and process automation capabilities. The last part covers how SAP BTP can facilitate data-to-value use cases to produce actionable business insights. By the end of this SAP book, you’ll be able to architect solutions using SAP BTP to deliver high business value.

Other related services

We have covered a lot so far, and as visible in the example architecture design, so many SAP BTP services can be involved in an application development scenario. But there is still room for extending our scenario with other services. The good side of all these services being available on SAP BTP is that it’s easy to integrate them, the connectivity between them is efficient, and it’s possible to manage their lifecycles together. Let’s briefly cover other services that can be leveraged in an application development scenario:

  • SAP Integration Suite: The best practice programming models suggest implementing services in an API-led approach. As you may recall, with both CAP and RAP, the end product is a set of OData APIs. So, in an inbound scenario, you can create a layer to control access and protect these APIs using the API Management capability of SAP Integration Suite. We discussed a digital integration hub design example in Chapter...
