Infor BaaS (Backend as a Service) offers a modern, cloud-based foundation that simplifies backend development and streamlines application deployment for businesses using Infor solutions. By providing scalable APIs, data management tools, and secure integration capabilities, Infor BaaS empowers organizations to build and extend applications while reducing infrastructure complexity.
This article explores the key features of Infor BaaS, how it supports innovation across industries, and the benefits of leveraging this service to modernize your enterprise systems.
Understanding Backend as a Service
What is the Backend?
The backend refers to the server-side of an application or system, consolidating the components and capabilities needed for data processing, management, and storage across the enterprise. It also includes the logic and operations that support the frontend, ensuring seamless data flow and efficient interaction between user-facing applications and backend systems. This foundation enables effective data management and streamlines operations across the entire technology landscape.
What is Backend as a Service?
Backend as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a pre-built backend infrastructure to help developers navigate the existing API landscape and streamline integrations between front and backend systems. With BaaS services, developers can focus on building business logic while the BaaS provider handles backend functionality and infrastructure management.
This functionality empowers users to create serverless cloud-native microservices that extend their API ecosystem and foster efficient integration across enterprise systems.
Navigating the Infor BaaS Landscape
Infor BaaS provides a cloud-based backend service that offers a scalable and secure infrastructure for microservices, enabling developers to focus on building applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. This simplifies the development process by providing a pre-built backend infrastructure that empowers developers to deploy applications quickly and easily.
With Infor BaaS, developers can choose between Java or TypeScript, offering the flexibility to work with their preferred programming language. Additionally, Infor’s BaaS functionality provides a range of resources, including documentation, tutorials, and support, that make it easy for developers to navigate the API landscape and improve their skills over time.
Implementing Service BaaS and Infor OS for Efficient Development
To get started in the Infor BaaS landscape, developers can create projects in Visual Studio Code using the Infor BaaS extension, which provides a seamless and integrated development experience. Developers can deploy their project in their tenant to create a new API in the API suite, making it easy to manage and deploy their applications.
On one hand, Infor OS provides a unified platform for all Infor applications, enabling developers to access a range of services and tools from a single location. On the other, Infor BaaS provides a range of features, including API management, data integration, and analytics, giving developers the tools they need to create efficient and scalable applications.
By using Infor BaaS and Infor OS, developers can streamline development processes and improve productivity, allowing them to focus on creating high-quality applications that meet user needs.
