We assume the following:

  • You possess sufficient database subject matter expertise to create an extension. In particular, you know how to build and execute SQL queries.
  • You're familiar with Extensions 2.0 basic concepts and the general structure of the extension YAML file.

Learn about the prerequisites and scope of the supported technologies. For limits applying to your extension, see Extensions 2.0 limits.
