WHAT IS PAAS?

Cloud computing model that provides a platform for developers to build, deploy, and
manage applications.Offers infrastructure, development tools, and libraries without
managing the underlying hardware.
• Key Features:
Development Tools: Pre-built frameworks and runtime environments.
Scalability: Auto-scaling to match demand.
Managed Infrastructure: No need to manage servers or storage.
Integrated Services: Database, authentication, monitoring, and more.

Popular PaaS Providers:


Microsoft Azure App Services
Google App Engine
Heroku
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
BENEFITS:

• Faster time to market


• Reduced development complexity
• Cost-effective
• Focus on coding, not infrastructure

3
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Abstracted Infrastructure: No need to manage servers,
storage, or networking.
• Built-in Development Tools: IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, version
control, testing frameworks.
• Middleware & Runtime Support: Includes app servers,
databases, load balancers, and language runtimes.
• Scalability & Availability: Auto-scaling, high availability built-
in.
• Multi-Tenant Architecture: Shared resources with logical
separation.

USE CASES

•Building modern web apps or APIs


•Hosting mobile backends
•Deploying AI/ML models via integrated tools
•Supporting microservices and containerized apps

Challenges

•Vendor Lock-In: Limited portability of services.


•Limited Customization: Control over the OS and low-level settings may be
restricted.
•Security Concerns: Compliance, data location, and isolation issues.

SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE

Definition
• SaaS (Software as a Service) is a cloud computing delivery model where software applications
are hosted and maintained by a third-party provider and delivered to users over the internet on a
subscription or usage basis.
Key Characteristics
• Hosted Applications: Users access applications via web browsers or thin clients.
• No Installation Needed: No software installation or updates required on local machines.
• Multi-Tenancy: One application instance serves multiple customers securely.
• Automatic Updates: Regular software enhancements and patches handled by the provider.
• Subscription-Based Pricing: Pay-as-you-go or tiered pricing models.

BENEFITS

• ✅ Ease of Use: Minimal onboarding—just log in and go.


• Rapid Deployment: No setup time; applications are ready
instantly.
• 📉 Reduced IT Costs: No infrastructure or maintenance costs for
users.
• 🌍 Accessibility: Use from anywhere, anytime with internet
access.
• 📦 Scalability: Add/remove users or features as needed.

USE CASES & CHALLENGES
•Business Tools: CRM (e.g., Salesforce), ERP (e.g., SAP), HRM
•Collaboration & Productivity: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack
•Communication: Zoom, Microsoft Teams
•eCommerce: Shopify, BigCommerce
•Finance & Billing: QuickBooks Online, FreshBooks

Challenges:

•Limited Customization: Predefined features may not meet all needs.


•Data Security: Sensitive data hosted offsite; requires trust in provider.
•Downtime Risk: Dependent on provider’s uptime and SLA.
•Integration Complexity: May require complex APIs to work with internal tools.
