Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that offers a comprehensive platform to customers for developing, running, and managing applications without dealing with the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. PaaS provides a range of services, including operating systems, development tools, database management systems, and middleware, all hosted in the cloud. This allows developers to focus on writing code and developing applications, significantly speeding up the development process. With PaaS, businesses can benefit from scalable environments, reduced operational costs, and the ability to deploy applications rapidly. Popular PaaS providers include Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk, each offering various features tailored to different development needs.
