Speed Development with Gen AI

SAP is dedicated to increasing developer productivity enabling rapid extension of SAP S/4HANA and other enterprise applications. To support this mission, we announced SAP Build Code at TechEd 2023 and today, I’m excited to announce that it is generally available to all developers. Get started with the Test Drive tutorial!

What is SAP Build Code?

SAP Build Code provides AI-based code generation with Joule copilot, optimized for Java and JavaScript application development. It is a comprehensive, turn-key solution for coding, testing, integrations, and application lifecycle management. You can leverage Joule to efficiently generate application logic, data models, and test scripts. As an end-to-end integrated solution, SAP Build Code enhances the entire development process, from design time to runtime, significantly boosting your productivity.

SAP Build Code is tailored for SAP development, allowing you to utilize your favorite SAP programming models and frameworks and enabling you to connect seamlessly to S/4HANA and other applications with prebuilt integrations. It provides you with a guided development experience following best practices from SAP. The Service Center in SAP Build Code provides direct access to discovery and consumption of SAP APIs Including OData and Business Events from SAP and third-party systems. As an integral part of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Build inherits all the robust security and integration capabilities of BTP. This not only enhances security but also simplifies the development of extensions and applications for SAP S/4HANA and other enterprise applications following SAPs clean core strategy.

But there’s more – SAP Build Code encourages fusion development, an approach that uses a mix of traditional coding and low-code development. This is thanks to its support for app composability and the reuse of project components across SAP Build low-code solutions and ABAP environments. SAP Build Code makes your development process faster, more collaborative, and more integrated with the SAP ecosystem, perfect for those looking to streamline their development projects.

What developers are saying about SAP Build Code

Since announcing the solution, we’ve had 450 developers use SAP Build Code in our preview program. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from the developers who have used SAP Build Code to build full-stack SAP Fiori applications so far:

“SAP Build Code is yet another great offering within the SAP BTP ecosystem. I’m impressed by its maturity and developer-friendly features that quickly get you up and running. Gone are the days of wrestling with your application logic and data models. With a thoughtful prompt, Joule can get your application logic and data models created and fully functioning in just a few clicks.”
– Mark Smith, Senior Full-Stack Developer, Mindset Consulting

“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.”
– Nilesh Mhatre, CIO Americas, IMEA and Global Technology Center, Henkel

Try it yourself – take SAP Build Code for a Test Drive!

You can experience SAP Build Code with the Test Drive tutorial. This unique opportunity allows you to explore the full capabilities of SAP Build Code, including Joule-powered AI-based code generation, in the SAP BTP Trial, guided by the expertise of SAP Developer Advocates and the vibrant SAP Community.

By participating, you will not only gain hands-on experience with SAP Build Code but also have the chance to earn an SAP Community badge, recognizing your efforts and learning. This is an excellent way to enhance your skills, connect with fellow developers, and get a head start with SAP Build Code.

Don’t miss out – our free AI offer for early adopters

We are offering a limited quantity of Joule generative AI within the trial version of SAP Build Code. This allows you to experience the power of AI-assisted code development for free.
