SAP Build evolution
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SAP Build offers two products. One is LCNC approach and I have predominantly used SAP Build Apps for POC purpose, and I can re-use the same POC to develop it into a full UI5 app. It works well for citizen development. Similarly, I have been using SAP Build Code for developing enterprise ready full stack apps by leveraging Node.js and UI5 apps. Now Joule got integrated too with SAP Build. This speeds up our innovation and automate our business processes using SAP Build BPA. SAP Build Work-zone is another webhost that manages the users on cloud and it helps for the team where sap access is not required. Overall, SAP Build is becoming robust and providing everything that business user needs.

- SAP Build Code is pro-developer tool helps for creating enterprise ready web apps
