PaaS
PaaS (Platform as a Service) is a cloud computing service that provides users with a ready-made platform for easily developing, running, and managing applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
How it works
PaaS providers manage the underlying hardware and software—servers, storage, networking, and operating systems—so developers can focus solely on writing and deploying their own application code. This greatly simplifies the development process, speeds up time to launch, and lowers operational costs.
Examples
- 1.Quickly deploy a website or web app on Heroku or Google App Engine
- 2.Build and scale enterprise-grade CRM applications on Salesforce's Force.com platform
- 3.Run an auto-scaling backend service on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
