Platform as a Service, commonly known as PaaS, is a cloud computing model that provides a platform for customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. Think of it as renting a fully equipped workshop; you get all the tools and space you need to create, but you don't own the workshop itself or worry about its upkeep. PaaS offerings typically include operating systems, programming language execution environments, databases, and web servers.
