Executive Summary

Many SAP HANA extension teams face slow, error-prone development when migrating to cloud or adopting TypeScript because there is no first-class Prisma provider for HANA; this forces teams to maintain brittle custom drivers, hand-written SQL, and long release cycles—an issue affecting roughly 12,000 HANA development teams. The pain is practical and immediate: developer ergonomics and productivity are degraded, increasing maintenance costs and delaying cloud replatforming projects. You could build an official Prisma HANA provider as an open-source TypeScript/Node.js library plus a commercial, hardened distribution that includes migration tooling, HANA-specific optimizations (calculation views, CDS, performance hints), CLI integrations, and enterprise SLAs and support. Packaged services could include migration assistance and paid support tiers that target an average ACV of ~$50K. This is an attractive market right now: a $600M addressable market (12,000 teams × $50K ACV) with strong tailwinds from SAP cloud migration, TypeScript adoption in enterprise backends, and openness to OSS tooling—reflected in the market and revenue scores (82/100 and 88/100). Demand is time-sensitive as many customers are actively re-architecting extensions. You can differentiate by shipping an “official” supported provider with SAP/Prisma-aligned certification, deep HANA integrations, and commercial SLAs, plus migration services to lower adoption friction; however, expect medium competition, the need for rigorous enterprise validation, and a nontrivial engineering and sales investment to win trust.

Market Opportunity

Enable Prisma workflows for SAP HANA by building an official HANA provider targets a $600M = 12,000 SAP HANA development teams × $50K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY — enterprise cloud DB adoption and developer tooling spend are growing as SAP customers modernize (based on Gartner and SAP ecosystem trends).

Key trends driving demand: Cloud migration of SAP workloads — many customers are moving HANA to cloud and re-architecting extensions, which increases demand for modern developer tooling.; TypeScript/Node.js adoption in enterprise backend development — more SAP extension teams prefer JavaScript/TypeScript, creating demand for Prisma-like ergonomics.; Open-source-first enterprise tooling — enterprises increasingly adopt OSS developer tools but pay for hardened, supported distributions and migration services.; Low-code/No-code integration limits for custom logic — organizations building bespoke business processes need type-safe, code-first DB access rather than purely integration middleware..

Key competitors include Prisma (core), CData HANA Connector, SAP native drivers and SAP Cloud SDK.
