A Platform as a Service, or PaaS, is an external platform for application development teams to deploy and run their apps. | ||
Heroku, Cloud Foundry, App Engine are examples of PaaS offerings. | ||
Platform as a Service (PaaS) can be thought of as a pre-built development environment in the cloud. | ||
It provides everything you need to build and run your applications, from the underlying infrastructure | ||
such as servers, storage and tools for development and deployment. Essentially, you rent the resources you need instead | ||
of managing them yourself, allowing you to focus on creating your application. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Problem it addresses | ||
|
||
To take advantage of cloud native patterns like [microservices](/microservices-architecture/) or [distributed applications](/distributed-apps/), | ||
operations teams and developers need to be able to offload a significant amount of operations and maintenance work. | ||
These include tasks like provisioning infrastructure, | ||
handling [service discovery](/service-discovery/) and load balancing, and [scaling](/scalability/) applications. | ||
PaaS (Platform as a Service) addresses the complexities of setting up and maintaining a development environment by providing | ||
a pre-built platform. This eliminates the need for companies to manage servers, storage, and development tools, | ||
allowing them to focus on building innovative applications. PaaS often leverages IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) or | ||
bare metal to allocate dedicated infrastructure resources. | ||
|
||
By abstracting away the underlying infrastructure, PaaS offers a simplified interface for developers. | ||
This abstraction allows companies to focus on application development without being burdened by the intricacies of | ||
managing the underlying technology. PaaS provides a scalable and flexible environment, enabling businesses to easily adapt | ||
to changing demands and grow their applications as needed. | ||
|
||
|
||
## How it helps | ||
|
||
A PaaS provides common infrastructure tools to application developers in a fully automated fashion. | ||
It allows developers to understand and worry less about infrastructure and devote more time and effort to writing application code. | ||
It also provides some monitoring and [observability](/observability/) to help application teams ensure their apps are healthy. | ||
PaaS simplifies application development. Imagine having an entire workshop ready to use, with all the tools and | ||
benches laid out. PaaS provides that for developers, eliminating the need to set up the groundwork themselves. | ||
This allows them to focus their time and energy on what they do best: building great applications. | ||

I would love to see a bit more information about how PaaS helps. Everything you said is correct, maybe we can add a bit more about that it utilizes IaaS or bare metal directly to dedicate infrastructure resources. Also maybe we can add that we talk about abstractions and that we have an interface for using a PaaS that abstracts everything away.

@manojrayar Thanks for the ping and patience.
I understand what you did. You put the information in Which Problem it solves section which is not the correct place. The text in the Which Problem it solves section was fine before. You can put your added text to the how it helps section.
And I would remove the following sentence as it feels redundant:
is abstraction allows companies to focus on application development without being burdened by the intricacies of managing the underlying technology
