CAP Heaven? Not Yet, But a Breath of Fresh Air for SAP

CAP (Cloud Application Platform) is an opinionated framework that makes the right bets for SAP development, aligning with mainstream cloud-native patterns. It has good opinions on data modeling, service definition, persistence handling, and event handling, saving developers from mistakes and chaos. CAP's conventions, such as CDS-first approach, service layer, and event-driven model, are familiar to Java and Node.js developers but bring a fresh approach to the SAP ecosystem, making it the default approach for side-by-side extensibility.
