this week SAP announced the retirement of open-source backing services offerings like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and RabbitMQ starting with July 15th 2020. SAP Blog
They call it 'evolution'
Insteat SAP suggest to use S/4 DB (heavily oversized) or hyper-scaler external services, which causes lot of problems in enterprise environment (security, vendor management, ...)
I'm just wondering if
- there are any mandatory services a CF certified platform needs to offer?
- SAP should still be listed as a CF certified platform [2]
[2]: Beside that there is also a vendor lock-in to SAP CF by the SAP licence model (indirect usage) which contradicts the CF idea
