PaaS

Definition

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. PaaS solutions offer a range of services such as application hosting, development tools, database management, and middleware, enabling developers to focus on writing code and deploying applications efficiently. PaaS is particularly beneficial for rapid development and deployment, as it abstracts much of the operational overhead associated with traditional infrastructure management.
