SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori
Key takeaways

Where to safely invest now?

The ABAP programming model for SAP Fiori is available and still evolving
Documentation available on the SAP Help Portal: ABAP Programming model for SAP Fiori

Use ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) – The next generation data modelling and access
Use CDS / BOPF integration and get familiar with BOPF concepts like determinations, validations and actions
Use OData exposure: @OData.publish:true or SEGW with Referenced Data Source for OData V2
Avoid DPC / MPC specific coding
Check out blog: Be prepared for the ABAP programming model in SAP S/4HANA

Avoid the use of OData V4 for your business scenario as for now
Go for an implementation based on the new ABAP programming model – It will provide OData V4 soon
If you must use OData V4 now then go for a code-based implementation but use CDS views for read access!
