📄️ Discover the Tutorial Target
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a multitenant Software as a Service (SaaS) application using CAP in your SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) environment. For this use-case, the Kyma Runtime runtime was chosen, which is SAP's managed Kubernetes Cluster. You can develop similar SaaS applications in the SAP BTP Cloud Foundry runtime or the SAP BTP ABAP Cloud environment. If you are interested in the implementation of this application on Cloud Foundry, you can find it here.
📄️ The Basics of SAP BTP, Kyma and CAP

The platform offers users the ability to turn data into business value, compose end-to-end business processes, and build and extend SAP applications quickly.
