Create customized cloud applications! Master the basics of SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and its development environments. Then get step-by-step instructions for developing your frontend and backend using Java, Node.js, Python, or ABAP and tools like SAP Business Application Studio, SAP Joule for Developers, and more. With detailed code examples throughout, this book is your complete guide to building cloud applications on SAP BTP!

Build and deploy cloud applications on SAP BTP using Java, Node.js, Python, and ABAP
Work with SAP Business Application Studio, SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, SAP Joule for Developers, SAP Build, and more
Manage, monitor, and secure your applications

Environments, Programming Models, and Tools
Work with SAP BTP’s development environments, including the ABAP environment, Cloud Foundry, and the Kyma runtime. Use SAP Cloud Application Programming Model to simplify cloud development and set up your main tool: SAP Business Application Studio.

Application Development
Develop the backend of your applications using Java, Node.js, Python, and ABAP. For the frontend, explore SAPUI5 and SAP Fiori. Understand how tools like SAP Build Apps, Jupyter Notebook, and Joule can enhance the development process.

Operations and Support
Secure and monitor your applications and implement DevOps best practices. Explore the use of additional services like SAP Workflow Management, SAP Build Work Zone, SAP Build Process Automation, and SAP Business Data Cloud.

In the previous chapters, we have experienced building Node.js, Java, and ABAP applications using SAP Business Application Studio and Eclipse on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). We will now experience the process of building a Python application using Jupyter Notebook integrated with SAP Business Application Studio. As Python is a key programming language for building AI-driven solutions, it’s important to have a basic understanding not only of the language but also of how to effectively leverage it for designing and deploying enterprise-grade applications.

Since the paradigm shift in the AI world, not only are AI models evolving, but we are also experiencing a simultaneous shift in the skills and technologies that support them. Programming languages like Node.js and Python are becoming increasingly critical because they enable developers to build, integrate, and scale AI-driven solutions more efficiently on platforms such as SAP BTP and other hyperscalers.

As one of the most diverse and popular programming languages, Python has already established itself as a “go-to” language, especially for AI applications regardless of platform or tools. After a brief introduction to Python and its relevant libraries, this chapter will introduce Jupyter Notebook, followed by a step-by-step process for creating a Python-based application on SAP BTP.

As a programming language, Python is simple and easy to learn, especially for beginners. Over the years, Python has evolved beyond a programming language into an ecosystem powered by the widest possible range of libraries and frameworks. Whether for a simple web application, complex data analysis, or developing a Machine Learning model, it meets the needs of every user—including beginners, pro-code developers, and data scientists—and helps them turn their ideas into production-ready solutions. Additionally, strong community support and continuous innovation keep the language relevant, resilient to real-world challenges, and future-ready.
