#292 - TOW ABAP development with Arc-1 (Marian Zeis) | SAP on Azure Video Podcast

In episode 292 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Arc-1!Just last week SAP releaed the ABAP Development Tools for VS Code which means that ABAP developers can now officially use VS Code for their development. While this is really great and I am also starting to test it, I have to admit that for me the way how ABAP development works has moved on and away from Eclipse. My colleauge Alice had released VSP - Vibecoding for Steampunk - and what happend afterwards was truly amazing. The community picked up a lot of things and enhanced it with MCP Servers, new ways to integrate in GitHub Copilot and Claude Desktop appeared -- and then someone published an MCP Server that uses the SAP ABAP Development Tools (ADT) to connect to your SAP system. It gets even better: it can run on the SAP Business Technology Platform which means that in a lot of cases you can use your existing infrastructure including the SAP Cloud Connector to get started. I am really glad to have Marian Zeis, the developer behind Arc-1, back with us, to talk about it.
