Innovation, not Infrastructure

Leveraging PaaS for application deliveryRichard Seroter

Product Manager, Tier 3@rseroter

Development and infrastructure teams often clash when building software.

Ideally, there is a clear separation of duties and clean handoffs.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud delivery

model for applications composed of services

managed by a 3rd party.

PaaS is about speed and agility through

standardized services.

Usage is growing, especially for polyglot clouds, but some PaaS

vendors have hedged bets and added IaaS services.

There is great diversity among the existing offerings.

Let’s see how to build something.

There are legitimate hurdles in attempting to completely switch to

a PaaS model.

Being successful with PaaS requires more than just

technology.

Thank you!
