What is PaaS?

(Platform as a service)

       Features of PaaS :-

1.  Cut coding time.

     PaaS development tools can cut the time it takes to code new                apps with pre-coded application components built into the                      platform, such as workflow, directory services, security                            features, search and so on. 

2.  Add development capabilities without adding staff.

     Platform as a Service components can give your development                team new capabilities without your needing to add staff having the      required skills. 

3.  Develop for multiple platforms—including mobile—more easily.       Some service providers give you development options for multiple        platforms, such as computers, mobile devices and browse making        cross-platform apps quicker and easier to develop. 

4.  Use sophisticated tools affordably.

      A pay-as-you-go model makes it possible for individuals or                     organisations to use sophisticated development software and               business intelligence and analytics tools that they could not afford       to purchase outright. 

5.  Support geographically distributed development teams.                    Because the development environment is accessed over the                   Internet, development teams can work together on projects even         when team members are in remote locations. 

 
6.  Efficiently manage the application lifecycle.

     PaaS provides all of the capabilities that you need to support the          complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying,              managing and updating within the same integrated environment.
