Developers have driven innovation and transformation forward, from pioneering new business applications to keeping mission-critical services running. Unleashing developer ingenuity — empowering developers to turn ideas into real solutions — results in organizations delivering results.
SAP is on a mission to boost developer productivity. Last year at SAP TechEd we released SAP Build, a unified low-code environment that enables people with any skill level to create web and mobile apps, automate processes, and design business sites through intuitive drag-and-drop simplicity.
Today, we are taking a giant step forward to empower developers. We are excited to announce SAP Build Code, an application development solution that draws on the power of SAP’s new generative AI copilot Joule by embedding AI-based code generation to create data models, app logic, and test scripts.
A true game-changer for all SAP developers, SAP Build Code offers a turn-key environment for coding, testing, integrating, and managing Java and JavaScipt application life cycles by bringing together key design and runtime services and tools in a single offering.
SAP Build Code includes pre-built integrations, APIs, and connectors to SAP and non-SAP systems, guided templates, and built-in SAP developer best practices to accelerate development. SAP Build Code enables fusion development, so developers can innovate faster by collaborating with other developers and business experts.
Let’s look at what developers can accomplish with SAP Build Code.
SAP Build Code will enable rapid development and has all the features we require to build a full stack solution powered with generative AI, including pre-configured runtime and design time capabilities, enabling shorter lead time to market.
