EDGE OSDEFINITION
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a type of cloud computing where everything you need to build, test, deploy and manage applications can be found on an already managed platform. As much of the infrastructure will be managed by the provider such as the server, operating system and runtimes, this means you can focus on developing your application. Depending on the PaaS provider it may also include databases, development tools, deployment pipelines and monitoring.
Why is PaaS important?
- Less time is required to setup infrastructure.
- Easy to manage as much of the infrastructure is managed by the provider.
- Scales well for applications.
- Includes development tools that help make life easier for developers.
- Flexible as it is often pay as you go.
Examples
- Develop web applications.
- Develop APIs and enterprise platforms.
- Deploy AI powered applications and chatbots.
- Create development/testing environments.
- Continuous integration and deployment of applications.
