PaaS
(Platform as a Service)
A cloud platform for building and running applications without managing the underlying computers yourself
What's it for?
Lets developers build and run applications without having to manage the underlying servers.
For example…
Developers deploy a web app to a managed platform that handles scaling and runtime updates.
A developer deploys a web application to a PaaS service and focuses on the code while the provider manages the underlying servers and operating system
Think of it like…
Renting a fitted kitchen: you cook, but you do not install the pipes and electrics
