Back to basics with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) - part 6

In this episode, we head back to our CDS definitions, stare at the cuid aspect and what it implies, and then start improving our Books and Authors entity definitions. Everyone welcome, especially beginners, come and join us for friendly chat and curiosity-driven learning-by-doing!
See community.sap.... for all resource links.

DJ, you have a talent and a gift. Great series! We are eagerly awaiting more, so please don't stop. We would like to see some best practices around deploying CAP apps. I'm not sure if I got that right, but CAP and HDI have a cloud-friendly 'monolithic' architecture, as all components of an application are tightly coupled and deployed as a single unit. Once we understand the CAP basics, combined with Thomas's awesome HDI tutorials, it would be great if we could dive into some L2 stuff! Also, while the auto scaler can adjust a CAP app, figuring out how to size a Cloud Foundry space and split multiple services into separate deployments would be amazing. It would really help us optimize our resources and ensure scalability. Looking forward to diving into this aspect as well! Thanks again!

Thanks! Yes, all in the plan. I hope we can get to it eventually! 😅

I've never commented on a video before, but I had to for this one. It's that good!

[@DJAdams]

Thank you!

This series is just awesome! Thanks DJ. Wrt sqlite you explicitly added cds requires section in package json file. So does this job won't be done via cds command ? just like the cds add hana command adds the configuration.

Great Going DJ ! Batch operations for bulk data creation are also supported in addition to CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, correct? Any samples available to test $batch ( bulk uploads ) via test.http ?

[@sapdevs]

Thanks! I'm not aware of any samples for that, but others might be. Perhaps ask in community.sap.com/t5/application-development-discussions/bd-p/application-developmentforum-board [dja]?

[@mrabodo7a]

really lovin this series..Do you plan in upcoming sessions to also deploy our code to a trial BTP account or so ?

[@DJAdams]

Thank you! Yes, I hope to eventually get around to those topics, for sure. I just need to remember not to digress too much on the way there :-)

Hey there, you can get to all the links shared, and more, in the resource list I compiled - just follow the (single) link in the description of this video 👍

​@@DJAdams Thanks a lot 👍

DJ, pls, mute when drinking coffe.

[@sapdevs]

Hey there, can you please tell me why? I find this request rather strange :-) [dja]
