Preface – This post is part of the SAP Multi-Target Application (MTA) and SAP CAPM series.

Introduction

SAP has recently introduced two different package based development modules: SAP MTA and SAP CAP (or CAPM). It is getting tough for developers and architects to choose the best among them. In this article we will try to explain the difference between SAP MTA and SAP CAP.

SAP MTA

A Multi-Target Application (SAP MTA) is a package comprised of multiple libraries, application and resource modules. These have been created using different technologies and deployed to different runtimes but have a common life-cycle. You can bundle different modules together, describe them along with their inter-dependencies to other modules, services, and interfaces, and package them in a Multi-Target Application(MTA) .

SAP CAP

SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, also known as SAP CAP is a framework of tools, languages and libraries (both open source and SAP tools and technologies) designed efficiently with SAP best practices to help developers to minimize coding efforts, develop reusable peace of codes in form of micro services and to focus on designing and implementing business/enterprise specific logic.
