Backend as a Service

Infor BaaS (Backend as a Service) enables you to build services locally and deploy them in a cloud environment.
Note: BaaS requires an add-on license in addition to your Infor OS core license. The BaaS functionality is only accessible with the appropriate license and user security roles specifically for IONAPI-BAAS.

You create APIs to send data between Infor products or between an Infor product and a third-party app.

Using BaaS, you manage the complete API lifecycle:

  • Build serverless, event driven functions (FaaS) and expose them as APIs (BaaS)
  • Build serverless APIs
  • Customize Infor APIs
  • Add third-party integrations

Services is for the administrators managing customer-specific services developed with Backend as a Service.

Subsequent sections in this chapter are for developers who are responsible for building APIs used for sending data between Infor products or between an Infor product and a third-party app.
