SAP Cloud Platform offers two environments for application development – Neo and Cloud Foundry. One of the frequents question which I get from existing SAP Cloud Platform customers is around the considerations when moving their apps to Cloud Foundry environment. In this blog post, I have attempted to provide a mapping of SAP Cloud Platform services between the environment. For example, if you have built a Fiori app or mobile app leveraging services in Neo environment, you can scroll through the table to see the equivalent services required in Cloud Foundry. Please note that this blog is not a guide to help you migrate the apps/interfaces between these environments. You will have to refer to the respective documentations on migration path.
I have referenced the Service Catalog within the discovery center and SAP Cloud Platform estimator to identify the services in the respective environments.
You can use the filters in the Service Catalog to quickly identify which services are available in the respective regions and DC providers
There are many business services specific to LoB solutions like Real Spend, SAP Customer Order Sourcing, SAP Omnichannel Promotion Pricing etc which I have not covered. There are also few services which do not run on standard SAP Cloud Platform regions for example Big Data service, SAP LiveLink, Rapid Application Development by Mendix etc which I’ve excluded from the list.
