Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a branch of cloud computing services that allows organizations to build, run, and manage a computer platform that typically consists of multiple applications. These platforms are accessed through an internet connection and eliminate the need for a developer to build, manage, and maintain their own infrastructure. Instead, the framework is provided and developers can build on the existing platform to create software and deploy applications
