PaaS

Abbreviation · Development

Definitions

  1. Platform as a Service — a cloud computing model that provides a managed environment for developing, running, and managing applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. Heroku, Google App Engine, and Railway are popular examples.

    In plain English: A cloud service that handles the servers, operating systems, and networking for you — you just upload your code and it runs.

    Example: "We moved to a PaaS so the team could deploy with git push instead of wrangling servers."
