✅ Description of the Session

This Infor Builder Hour session explores Backend as a Service (BaaS)—Infor’s cloud-native, serverless development framework that empowers developers to create secure, scalable, and extensible integrations within the Infor ecosystem. Hosted by Greg Harter, Developer Engagement Strategist at Infor, this session introduces a full-code workflow for building and deploying custom APIs inside the Infor API Gateway using BaaS, enabling seamless integration with Infor OS services.

Developers will learn how BaaS supports complex integration scenarios, custom business logic, and enterprise-grade transformations using serverless computing. Presenters demonstrate how to configure a development environment, leverage built-in SDKs, interact with Infor systems such as IFS, and deploy secure API endpoints directly within the Infor cloud. The session also highlights how BaaS aligns with other Infor tools such as Ion, API Gateway, and the broader Infor OS technology platform—while emphasizing best practices for building cloud extensions without managing infrastructure.

This Builder Hour is designed for developers with prior exposure to BaaS, though newcomers will benefit from demonstrations, tutorials, and the included guidance on getting started. Attendees will gain clarity on when BaaS is the ideal solution compared to other integration services and how it supports modern API-driven, cloud-native development across the Infor ecosystem.
