The Feature Scope Description for SAP HANA has been updated for 2018. In this blog, you will find a brief overview of the feature sets with references to SAP HANA Academy tutorial videos and playlists.
The SAP HANA standard edition comprises the core database, integration and application services, series data, plus a number of components that require additional installation. Some components require the usage the SAP HANA database lifecycle management tool 'hdblcm' (Platform Lifecycle Managment). Others are "powered by HANA" and make use of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools for installation:
Dynamic Tiering (PLM)
SAP HANA Accelerator for SAP ASE (PLM)
SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, edition for SAP HANA (ALM)
Operational Process Intelligence (ALM)
HANA Rules Framework (ALM)
Data Warehousing Foundation (ALM)
There are no playlists on the SAP HANA Academy that specifically cover the core SAP HANA services but you will find most of them addressed in our library.
SAP HANA dynamic tiering is a native big data solution for SAP HANA that adds smart, disk-based extended storage to your SAP HANA database with its own database, integration and application services feature sets.
SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, edition for SAP HANA
SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, edition for SAP HANA allows you to capture, analyze, and present your organization’s landscapes, strategies, requirements, processes, data, and other artifacts in a shared environment.

Series
Series data is data collected at a measurable interval, such as time. You can use series data SQL statements to detect and forecast trends in a series.
CREATE COLUMN TABLE "InterpolationTable"
(ts_id VARCHAR(20), date DAYDATE, val DOUBLE)
SERIES(SERIES KEY(ts_id) PERIOD FOR SERIES(date)
EQUIDISTANT INCREMENT BY INTERVAL 1 DAY MISSING ELEMENTS ALLOWED);
SELECT CUBIC_SPLINE_APPROX(val, 'SPLINE_TYPE_NOT_A_KNOT')
OVER(SERIES TABLE "InterpolationTable") FROM "InterpolationTable";

Predictive Analysis Library and R
As part of the application function library software development kit for SAP HANA, SAP HANA predictive analysis library (PAL) offers functions to perform classic and universal predictive analysis algorithms for a number of different data mining categories. Integration of the SAP HANA database with R allows you to use the R environment for specific statistical functions.

SAP HANA Streaming Analytics
SAP HANA streaming analytics (also known as SAP HANA smart data streaming) applies complex processing logic to identify patterns, calculate aggregates, detect problems, and generate alerts by combining real-time streams of data with the appropriate historic and reference data using an in-memory stream processing engine. Integrated machine learning capabilities provide SAP HANA streaming analytics with the ability to generate and use predictions in real time.

SAP HANA Replication
SAP HANA replication provides technologies for replicating data from any supported source system to the SAP HANA database: trigger-based data replication using SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server, log-based replication using SAP Replication Server.
SAP HANA Active/Active Read Enabled System Replication
The active/active read-enabled feature enhances the existing high availability and disaster recovery capabilities of SAP HANA system replication and enables you to use the secondary systems of SAP HANA system replication actively for read-intense workloads.

Express Edition
SAP HANA, express edition has its own Feature Scope Description document. Most of the standard services are included but obviously not the functionality that would make little sense for a developer edition, like distributed systems (32 GB memory restriction) and dynamic tiering (separate installation on an additional host). For the full list, see Feature Scope Description for SAP HANA, express edition 2.0 SPS 02.
Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more.
For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view mile stone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month.
