Platform as a service (PaaS) :<\/strong>\u00a0 a cloud computing model which allows user to deliver applications over the Internet. In a this model, a cloud provider provides hardware ( like IaaS ) as well as software tools which \u00a0are usually needed for development of required Application to its users. The hardware and software tools are provided as a Service. A PaaS provider hosts the hardware and software on its own infrastructure or a hired infrastructure such as AWS. As a result, PaaS relieves its users from installing in-house hardware and software needed to develop or run a new application. PaaS allows the developer to focus<\/a> on the app by\u00a0covering all infrastructure and middleware related management\u00a0aspects.<\/p>\n

A pass can be compared with Pizza as a Service , in example below :<\/p>\n

Similarly Platform as a Service can be understood in following pic\u00a0as :<\/p>\n

\"Picture2\"<\/p>\n

In the pic above we see that PaaS provides us : OS , Runtime as well as middleware alongside benefits of IaaS. Thus PaaS frees users from maintaining these aspects of application and focus on development<\/a> of the core app only.<\/p>\n

Why choose PaaS :<\/p>\n
