May 1, 2024 Updated May 9, 2025 19 minute read

Platform as a Service, or PaaS, is a cloud computing model that provides a comprehensive environment for developers to build, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. Essentially, PaaS allows development teams to focus on writing code and innovating, while the cloud provider handles servers, storage, networking, operating systems, and middleware. This model is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.
