Application Platform
Gartner’s glossary definition for aPaaS – It is a cloud service that offers development and deployment environments for application services. Satisfying both definitions, we can surmise that an aPaaS platform helps users to build applications,scale on-demand, and integrate with different services.aPaaS is a kind of “middleware” between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service(SaaS), where application development & deployment, integration, and other services are included. Examples of aPaaS: Wavemaker, Mendix, Cloudflare, and many more.
" If simply explained, aPaaS is a platform service to develop applications. "
