Cloud extensibility framework

A cloud platform, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• select an entity metadata;
• define an extension metadata for the entity metadata, wherein the extension metadata comprises a schema link and an extension function link;
• define an extension function at an extension service;
• set the extension function link to a location of the extension function at the extension service;
• define an extended entity metadata based on the entity metadata and the extension metadata, wherein the extended entity metadata comprises a first link to the entity metadata and a second link to the extension metadata;
• and
• create an extended entity instance from the extended entity metadata.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• selecting an entity metadata in a cloud platform;
• defining an extension metadata for the entity metadata, wherein the extension metadata comprises a schema link and an extension function link;
• defining an extension function at an extension service;
• setting the extension function link to a location of the extension function at the extension service;
• defining an extended entity metadata based on the entity metadata and the extension metadata, wherein the extended entity metadata comprises a first link to the entity metadata in the cloud platform and a second link to the extension metadata in the cloud platform;
• and
• creating an extended entity instance in the cloud platform from the extended entity metadata.
