gRPC Adapter For SAP PO
gRPC Adapter for SAP PO
gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) is a powerful open-source framework that enables efficient communication between different applications or services. Although gRPC itself is not specific to SAP, it can be used within the SAP landscape to enable efficient and scalable communication between SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems.
The gRPC Adapter for SAP PO allows you to call up or publish gRPC services from SAP PO without having to spend a lot of time on your own development.
The adapter uses a generator to conveniently create the counterpart as a PO internal WSDL from a gRPC definition. The PO developer can thus safely and easily consume or publish gRPC services using the usual development methodology.
Our current version of the adapter supports:
- Calling GraphQL services as a receiver channel
- Publishing gRPC services as a synchronous (best effort) or asynchronous service (EO/EOIO) as a sender channel
- Common authentication methods such as mTLS or API key,
- Generating XML Schemas/Service Interfaces from gRPC Definitions (proto files
KaTe gRPC adapter is used to connect critical systems in banking and finance, telecommunications, industry, internet and cloud computing, and many other market segments.
Benefits of KaTe gRPC Adapters
-
Microservices Architecture
gRPC is well suited for implementing microservices architectures, which are becoming increasingly popular in modern application development. SAP applications can be divided into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other via gRPC. This enables flexibility, scalability, and loose coupling between different components of the SAP landscape.
-
Integration Cost Savings
SAP landscapes often include a variety of non-SAP systems, such as external databases, messaging systems, or third-party applications. With gRPC, communication channels can be established between SAP and these external systems, enabling efficient data exchange and integration.
-
Cloud native development
SAP landscapes are evolving toward cloud-native development principles, where applications are designed to run in containers and leverage cloud platforms. gRPC fits well into this context, as it allows for easy and efficient communication between microservices running in containers or in different cloud environments.
-
Performance and efficiency
gRPC uses the HTTP/2 protocol and binary serialization, resulting in efficient and powerful communication. This can be beneficial in scenarios where low latency and high throughput are critical, such as real-time analytics, processing large amounts of data, or IoT applications within the SAP landscape.
