How AMOREPACIFIC brought AI-driven development to SAP ECC with Kiro

This article describes how AMOREPACIFIC integrated AI-driven development into its legacy SAP ECC 6.0 environment using Kiro, an MCP server, and Steering files to automate ABAP and SAPUI5 development.

• Implemented spec-driven development with Kiro's Spec mode for new projects and Vibe mode for iterative changes
• Built SAP-specific MCP server to provide system context including RFC function modules and table structures to the AI model
• Created Steering files documenting coding standards, naming conventions, and framework patterns to ensure generated code follows organizational guidelines
• Achieved up to 72% productivity gains across four projects and reduced documentation time by 80%
• Maintained 100% spec-to-code synchronization by generating specifications and code together in a unified workflow
• Integrated AI-DLC framework into existing Jira-based workflow without requiring major process changes

The project demonstrates that AI-driven development can work effectively in legacy SAP environments by combining spec-driven design, system context through MCP, and organizational coding standards through Steering files.
