Microservices - ArchitectureMicroservice architecture (MSA) is an approach to building software systems that decomposes business domain models into smaller, consistent, bounded-contexts implemented by services. These services are isolated and autonomous yet communicate to provide some piece of business functionality. Microservices are typically implemented and operated by small teams with enough autonomy that each team and service can change its internal implementation details (including replacing it outright!) with minimal impact across the rest of the system.
Microservices - Service DiscoveryClients of a service use either Client-side discovery or Server-side discovery to determine the location of a service instance to which to send requests. Why use Service Discovery?
Try Cloud Foundry - Service DiscoveryService Registry for Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) provides your applications with an implementation of the Service Discovery pattern, one of the key tenets of a microservice-based architecture. Trying to hand-configure each client of a service or adopt some form of access convention can be difficult and prove to be brittle in production. Instead, your applications can use the Service Registry to dynamically discover and call registered services.

Training JavaScript - 2. Create Server by Node.js (JavaScript version)Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment for executing JavaScript code server-side. Historically, JavaScript was used primarily for client-side scripting, in which scripts written in JavaScript are embedded in a webpage’s HTML, to be run client-side by a JavaScript engine in the user’s web browser. Node.js enables JavaScript to be used for server-side scripting, and runs scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user’s web browser.
Training JavaScript - 1. FoundationJavaScript, often abbreviated as ‘JS’, is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, interpreted run-time language. It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production; the majority of websites employ it, and all modern Web browsers support it without the need for plug-ins. JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language, since it supports prototype-based with first-class functions, imperative, and functional programming paradigms.

ABAP CDS - CDS based Virtual Data Model (VDM)The concept of the Virtual Data Model (VDM) has been introduced with HANA Live two years ago. Meanwhile CDS (Core Data Services) offers the ability to define database views independent of the application platform. ABAP CDS views are currently managed via ABAP. In future they will also support native-HANA access. As such CDS models contribute to the massive simplification of the suite stack towards the envisioned two-tier architecture. VDM views defined with the ABAP CDS technology are not restricted to read-only analytical use-cases, but will be used e.g. within search and transactional applications, too. Most of the key modeling principles for CDS views outlined below are taken from the already existing guidelines for the VDM based on HANA calculation views.

ABAP CDS - From a CDS View to an OData Service for AnalyticsHANA content can be modeled in the HANA database based on the replicated and local data. Basically, HANA content will consumed in the ABAP layer through transient InfoProviders on Operational Data Providers (ODPs). Based on the transient providers, BEx Queries are defined. These Queries serve as a central consumption entity. They are exposed via EasyQuery to allow access via OData for HTML5 UIs and native mobile applications or external access from reports via the BusinessObjects BI Platform.
HANA XS Classic part 1 - XS Data ServicesXS Data Services (XSDS) are a JavaScript library for the XS engine to consume SAP HANA artifacts that have been defined using Core Data Services (CDS), the central data modeling concept of HANA. The XSDS library supports the import of CDS entities and their associations and offers managed and unmanaged manipulation of such instances. With additional features such as transaction handling, lazy navigation, support for custom types and views, and incremental query building XSDS offers a level of convenience that makes writing native HANA applications with XS a breeze.
HANA Default ClientWhen accessing the HANA views directly (or via analytical tools like Lumira or BOC), a proper client needs to be maintained at the HANA database user.
