Can anyone explain what is ServiceNow SDK in simple terms? What all can we done using it?

Can I build an end-to-end custom app using SDK (everything built outside ServiceNow) and deploy it to ServiceNow?

This is what document mention

ServiceNow SDK ServiceNow SDK enables developers to create scoped applications in source code locally in Visual Studio Code Desktop and upload changes to a ServiceNow instance. You can also use the ServiceNow SDK to create JavaScript modules and use third-party libraries.

So using SDK in VS code, can we build custom apps from scratch? like creating tables, adding business logic to it like business rule, client script, ACLs etc? everything outside ServiceNow and then finally commit the app in the Instance at the end?

Hi @Suggy 

This is my understanding

Imagine you're building an app on your computer using Visual Studio Code. With the SDK, you can test the app locally, add extra tools, and then send it to a non-production version of ServiceNow to make sure everything works before it goes live.

Hello Atul, thanks for replying.

Let me hear it from core developers 🙂

Any developers aware of this?
