A Internet-based IT Platform as a Service (PaaS) is an IT platform that is a cloud computing service.
- Context:
- It can range from being a Niche PaaS IT Platform to being a Broad PaaS IT Platform.
- It can (often) have a Pay-as-You-Go Pricing Models.
- It can support multi-tenant architectures, where multiple customers share the same infrastructure but maintain separate and secure environments.
- It can enhance collaboration by enabling development teams to work on the same project concurrently from different locations.
- …
- Example(s):
- a PaaS DBMS Platform.
- a PaaS Big Data Processing Platform, such as AWS EMR or AWS Batch.
- a PaaS BI Platform, such as AWS QuickSight.
- a PaaS AI PLatform, such as:
- a PaaS LLM Platform ...
- a PaaS ML Platform (such as PaaS model training) or a PaaS AI Platform (such as PaaS text AI).
- a PaaS App Builder Platform, such as Force.com.
- an Amazon AWS-based PaaS, Microsoft Azure-based PaaS, Google Cloud Computing-based PaaS, ...
- …

- Platform as a service (PaaS) is a category of cloud computing services that provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run and manage Web applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app.[1] [2] [3] PaaS can be delivered in two ways: as a public cloud service from a provider, where the consumer controls software deployment and configuration settings, and the provider provides the networks, servers, storage and other services to host the consumer's application; or as software installed in private data centers or public infrastructure as a service and managed by internal IT departments.[4] The two primary programming languages for PaaS are Java and .NET, according to Gartner.

- In the PaaS models, cloud providers deliver a computing platform, typically including operating system, programming language execution environment, database, and web server. Application developers can develop and run their software solutions on a cloud platform without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers. With some PaaS offers like Microsoft Azure and Google App Engine, the underlying computer and storage resources scale automatically to match application demand so that the cloud user does not have to allocate resources manually. The latter has also been proposed by an architecture aiming to facilitate real-time in cloud environments.[1]
