Today, technological developments enable cloud computing to become widespread. The use of cloud-based services is used quite naturally in parallel with established on-premises systems. Due to security, cost and management needs, the rate of companies moving their applications to the cloud is increasing day by day. The increase in applications and systems that organizations use both in the cloud based and on-premise has made it difficult to work and manage them together. Among the platforms that promise to realize various integration scenarios in real-time and make services equally available in the cloud, the best known and most used is SAP Cloud Integration (Formerly SAP Cloud Platform Integration (SAP CPI)).
