SuiteScript 2.x (Core Custom Code) 

What it is: NetSuite’s proprietary JavaScript-based API framework.

How it works: It allows developers to write server-side scripts and client-side logic to alter system behavior.

Key feature: Version 2.x is a modern, modular, architecture-driven framework that replaced the older 1.0 version. It uses specific script types (User Event, Scheduled, Map/Reduce, Client scripts) to trigger code exactly when data is saved, loaded, or processed in bulk.


SuiteFlow (Visual Workflows)

What it is: A point-and-click graphical workflow tool.

How it works: It allows business analysts and developers to automate business processes (like multi-stage invoice approval routing) without writing heavy code.

Key feature: Developers often combine SuiteFlow with SuiteScript. When a workflow hits a complex business logic barrier that the visual editor cannot handle, a developer will inject a custom SuiteScript action into the flow.


SuiteTalk / RESTlets (Integration Frameworks)

What it is: NetSuite’s integration endpoints for connecting external systems (like Salesforce, Shopify, or internal databases).

    SuiteTalk: NetSuite's web services platform supporting both older SOAP/XML standards and modern REST web services for standard CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) data operations.

    RESTlets: Custom APIs built using SuiteScript. Instead of using standard endpoints, developers write a RESTlet to accept custom JSON payloads, process complex internal logic, and return custom responses. They are faster and more flexible than standard SuiteTalk.


SDF / SuiteCloud CLI (DevOps & Deployment)

What it is: SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) and its Command Line Interface (CLI).

How it works: This is NetSuite's modern Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and DevOps environment. It treats NetSuite customizations as code objects (XML and JS files).

Key feature: Instead of manually clicking through the NetSuite UI to build fields or copy scripts from sandbox to production, developers use the CLI to pull, push, validate, and deploy customizations directly from their local IDEs (like VS Code) and tie them into git-based CI/CD pipelines.
