In this blog we will get to know more about this new platform to develop Applications, i.e. SAP Bussiness Application Studio.

SAP has come up with new cloud-based development environment i.e. SAP Business Application Studio, for multi-cloud environment. SAP Business Application Studio is a very powerful development environment, tightly integrated with the SAP Cloud Platform and well suited for developing business applications.

It provides you desktop-like experience in the cloud. Design of this studio is influenced by Microsoft Visual Studio code, making the developer productive. This is suitable from basic level developer to Full-Stack developer with full control development environment from back-end to front-end.

This would be the only environment for all kind of applications, by replacing all below tools into one tool SAP BAS.

• SAP UI5 / FIORI apps using templates and elements – webIDE Full-Stack
• HANA Native – XS & XSJS – HANA webIDE & HANA Studio
• ABAP on Cloud – RESTful Application Programming – Eclipse with cloud system connectivity
• Cloud Application Programming (CAP), Node.js & Java apps – Eclipse, Atom

Key benefits:

• Single environment for all kind of applications.
• No local installation & setup required
• No JRE dependency
• Industry best practices for developers without switching to multiple applications
• Integration with API HUB, on-premise, on-cloud.
• Provide the flexibility for all the developers, for e.g. templates, Git, Mock servers, OPA5 testing for FIORI apps, etc.
• Enhances the productivity with direct command execution through integrated command line.
• Run configuration feature makes it an easy option and offer single click to simulate the test in locally or deploy your app on cloud directly

Target Audience:

• UI5/Fiori developer
• ABAP developer (Planed in future version)
• Native HANA developer (Planed in future version)
• Node.js (in future version) developer
• Java application developer
• RESTful Application programming (RAP) dev
• Cloud Application programming (CAP) dev

Hope this short intro to SAP BAS was helpful. Check my next blog where I will show how to setup SAP BAS, create a UI5 application, add a launchpad module for SAP UI5 application and deploy to Cloud foundry from SAP Bussiness Application Studio.
