AWS Fargate vs. SAP NetWeaver BPM

Fargate is well suited for web APIs, microservices, background jobs, and applications with changing traffic. It is useful when teams want to run containers without managing servers. It is less appropriate for workloads that run constantly at large scale, need special hardware, require deep server control, or depend on very low costs and highly customized networking or storage requirements.

It is well suited when we need to integrate business processes with SAP ERP and SAP CRM - the solution can be integrated with business rules/procedures defined in SAP ERP/CRM and NetWeaver can be used to monitor the rules and flag off exceptions. When there are multiple workflows running, it tends to slow down running of these processes. Also, it entirely depends on SAP portal for it to run efficiently.

• Virtual paper trail. Iterations of process and current documentation are all stored as "artifacts", leaving a great trail.
• Configuration of users. BPM somewhat magically determines which users will be impacted and automates rules.
• A pro (that is also a con) is the design interface. If you know what you are doing, it is incredibly powerful and malleable.

• Offers less control over the underlying server.
• Storage options are more limited than EC2.
• Large numbers of tasks may hit launch-rate limits.

As a big fan of SAP in general, the BPM solution fits right in with all the other things SAP does well, and does it with incredible efficiency

It's a very practical service to use. If you need to deploy any application with a Database, disk storage, you're pretty much set.

Everything around that can be taken care of using other AWS services. Like secrets manager, certificate manager, RDS ...

And the CI/CD part is also very easy to setup, you only need on AWS CLI command to trigger a deployment, and done !

AWS provides different support tiers. They are usually very reactive and are able to help solve the issues very quickly.

As for everything, the higher the support tier you get, the better and faster support you get.

If you're also a part of big company, you probably have solution architects at your disposal to help you with any inqueries.

We have our own tech support for systems, I would say they probably could use more training on it, I don't really think it's anything regarding the SAP system, but more the knowledge they have on the system itself. It seems to take longer for them to fix any issues we may come across.

We found the extra cost saved us frustration and time and ultimately money in the long run

I found the initial setup of NetWeaver is much simpler than other products especially in an SAP environment where we have SAP ERP/HRM/CRM as it can be well integrated with other SAP products. The only drawback is the need/dependency on SAP Portal. It is better suited in an environment where SAP ERP is running.

Pricing and billing of AWS Fargate is loosely tied to your exisiting AWS billing. You're unlikely to only use Fargate in your AWS subscription, so you get billed for everything alltoghter.

Fargate is naturally a bit more expensive that usuel docker services, but with careful planning and architecturing, you can have a very manageable cost.

You can also rely on Saving plans to reduce your bill.

• Has made seasonal apps/tools cheap to run/maintain.
• Pay for what you use helps compare many A/B tests.
• No server management means faster deploys.

• Helped us harness integrated benefit from having SAP ERP/CRM by leveraging NetWeaver to define business processes/rules and monitor exceptions
• Did not have any negative experience except for the fact that at times when multiple rules run, it can be somewhat slow
