Backend-as-a-Service overview
Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) provides a cloud-native framework for creating serverless APIs and microservices, supports full API lifecycle management, and facilitates Function-as-a-Service solutions. BaaS supports integrations between Infor products and third-party applications, reducing development time and operational costs. Developed services are automatically published as new APIs in the API Gateway.
A cloud-native microservices architecture enables developers to focus on business logic instead of back-end infrastructure management. Streamlined API lifecycle management, from development to deployment, helps businesses build scalable integrations with reduced overhead and improved efficiency.
Seamless integration capabilities between Infor products and third-party applications enhance connectivity across business systems. Support for Java and TypeScript programming language helps developers build custom application programming interfaces and event-driven functions. The support also enables developers to call existing services and customize Infor APIs more efficiently.
The integrated Visual Studio Code extension supports development workflows by providing local development capabilities with streamlined cloud deployment.
