Services & Platform Integration

CAP applications integrate at multiple levels — from reusing services and data within your application, to connecting with external microservices, to leveraging platform services for identity, storage, and observability. The guides in this section covers the various CAP-level service integration and data federation patterns, as well as platform capabilities available to your CAP projects.

CAP-level Service Integration

Learn how to consume and expose services using CAP's built-in service integration features (Calesi), enabling seamless communication between services at the framework level.

CAP-level Data Federation

On top of CAP-level service integration, CAP provides advanced data federation capabilities out-of-the-box, including service-level replication, HANA virtual tables, synonyms, and SAP data products.

Inner Loop Development

Decouple parallel development across distributed teams by swapping production-grade services with local mocks during development. In the context of application service integration, mock imported APIs of remote services in consuming applications.

Reuse and Compose

Explore in this guide how to reuse and compose enhanced solutions by reusing modular services from other projects, and adapt them to your needs with solution-specific projections and extensions.
