Hello phanichirala,

FYI: The term "Extension Factory" has been retired in the light of SAP Cloud Platform Extension Suite (blog).

Now to your question:

"SAP Cloud Platform Serverless Runtime" is the perfect fit for light-weight extensions in a fully-managed serverless environment. You can create NodeJS-based functions to extend your digital core.

"SAP Cloud Platform, Kyma runtime" allows you to deploy cloud-native solutions as microservices into the Kubernetes-based runtime. You can combine these microservice-based applications or extensions with serverless functions as the Kyma runtime includes a serverless engine.

In a nutshell:

Serverless Runtime is light-weight and scales down to zero, but can only be used for functions.
Kyma runtime enables microservice-based architectures to combine them with functions, but the runtime has a bigger initial footprint.

Best regards,
Marco.
