Next.js vs. SAP Business Technology Platform

I love using Next.js — it's my go-to framework for new personal projects and work projects. The local development environment is quick, easy, and fun to use. The framework it uses, which puts an API that runs node in your pages subdirectory, is absolutely genius. No more middleware! It's good for quick projects and big projects alike. I wouldn't use Next.js if I did not want to heavily rely on serverless tech.

BTP is particularly good for Integrating S4 and other SAP platforms. It is also good for developing Software like CAP and Fiori Applications. The event mesh is progressing. I am looking forward to the integration with SAP Build APp, SAP Build Code, and SAP Process Automation. Overall, there are good security and roles.

• Serverless API integration
• MDX (Markdown) Support
• Ease of Deployment via Vercel
• SSR React Pages

• Authentication options - In the past, we needed to really leverage our own solutions for MFA and other security measures, but now, out-of-the-box these options are really good and readily available.
• Ease of use - the interface has been adjusted to be really easy on the eyes but also simpler, less convoluted, and really well thought out.
• Modernized SAP experience - compared to the old stuff, SAP is really modernizing all of the experiences. The new house style is rejuvenated, and the company is really becoming more likable compared to 10 years ago!
• SAP Discovery and Missions are a real treat to see what the upcoming costs are!

Incentivized

• Window sizing makes handling SSR pages odd, at times
• React can be easier to statically deploy
• Somewhat of a learning curve

Incentivized

• Expand the standard integration with S4Hana bringing all tables, such as maintenance plans, task lists, etc.
• Expand the standard integration with APM (asset performance management). Ability to create BTP “items/events” from an APM alert for example.
• Add more options to UI.

SAP Analytics cloud build on SAP BTP . can be customized to specific business needs by adding applications on the BTP. Data and analysis helped various business units take critical decisions and make road for future enhancements .BTP's ability to connect and integrate various SAP and non-SAP systems, processes can be integrated and digitalized end-to-end. Such as system logging, the available permissions vary within the system.

I have given this rating because there are points that need to be improved with the Support of the SAP Business Technology Platform. Given that there are lots of components and parts within a low-code platform, often there would be a turnaround whether a certain issue is related to the Platform or the Infrastructure.

1. Sometimes the licensing doesn’t make sense, e.g., Difficult to understand the license for ABAP cloud runtime. 2. When SAP Business Technology Platform workflow cost is very high but process automation which offers more features has less cost.

Next.js takes the best parts of React and applies them to a full-stack dev environment. With a built-in serverless API, it's easy to boot up a web application in under an hour. With easy integration with tools like Firebase, Supabase, Stripe, and countless others, Next.js is a perfect tool for getting your idea out into the real world.

We have used the plain cloud foundry variant also, and there were many problems we faced while running applications on cloud foundry. We have also used the GCP platform to run our applications here also faced many problems. SAP BTP services and integration of service are strong points to consider it.

Incentivized

• It's free!
• It saves me a lot of time when writing serverless code
• Deployment, via Vercel, is fast, quick, and easy to debug

Incentivized

• Nicely linked and Developed a single platform for all Application Development and Deployment.
• It is easy to use and links each and every service with a single click.
• Negative impact is SAP BTP way more costlier than any other system like AWS and Azure.
