Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a complete, flexible, and cost-effective cloud platform for developing, running, and managing applications. Unlike traditional software development, where developers have to install and configure the hardware and software tools they need, PaaS applications are built and deployed on a third-party service provider’s platform. Developers can access these tools from any device with an internet connection, making them productive and agile. PaaS offerings typically include middleware, development tools, database management systems, business intelligence services, and more. This model is widely used for various applications, including web apps, mobile apps, data analytics, and high-performance computing. It offers benefits such as faster time to market, affordable access to a wider variety of resources, easy scalability, and reduced complexity.
