Course Summary

Businesses need to leverage new technologies, take on innovations, and transform digitally to be competitive.
During our ongoing innovation journey, we identified several challenges for companies that go through the process of digital transformation, like heterogeneous product portfolios, monolithic deployments, and the "need for speed” in development.

Kyma is an open-source project designed natively on Kubernetes. It allows you to extend and customize cloud-based and on-premise enterprise applications in a quick and modern way, using serverless computing or microservice architecture.

In this course, you’ll learn the benefits of Kyma, how to connect applications and third-party services in a cloud-native environment, and how to create extensions for existing systems, regardless of the language they are written in. Customizing extensions with minimum effort and time required to learn the configuration details will bring speed and agility to development and accelerate innovation.
