Original text:
At TechEd 2019, we introduced SAP Business Application Studio, a modular development environment available on SAP’s Multi-Cloud environment (Cloud Foundry), tailored for developing business applications for the SAP Intelligent Enterprise.
SAP Business Application Studio is an evolution of SAP Web IDE,
the current development environment. It
provides
an improved development experience which is consistent with leading IDEs in the market. It better addresses the needs of full stack and cloud application developers with better code editors for Java and Node, desktop like experience, command line tools, superior debugging capabilities and much more. It also includes many productivity tools that you might be familiar with in SAP Web IDE.
It provides turn-key solutions based on Dev-Spaces . A Dev-Space is a pre-configured environment (virtual machine on the cloud) where you can develop, build, test and run using pre-installed runtimes and tools. Each Dev-space is suited for the development of the target scenarios such as SAP S/4HANA extensions, Business Services, Fiori, and more.
SAP Business Application Studio is based on standards and open sources e.g. Eclipse Theia IDE, which embraces VS Code extensions and experience.
Availability
SAP Business Application Studio is
now available for
Beta on SAP’s Multi-Cloud environment (Cloud Foundry)! It can be enabled in a Cloud Foundry sub account that has the "Beta features" check box enabled.
At this time, you will be able to try it out by building business applications for SAP multi-cloud environment (CF) for the following use cases: SAP S/4HANA extensions, business services and full stack business applications using SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) with Java or Node.js. In addition, you will be able to build Fiori freestyle apps for SAP multi-cloud environment (CF).
It is planned to be generally available in the first half of 2020.
