Return to PaaS: Building the Platform of Our Dreams
- PaaS made application deployment simple and easy, without the need to manually setup cloud environments, databases and servers, increasing developers productivity and allowing them to concentrate on coding
- As the software stacks grew and DevOps became more prominent, the entire ecosystem has been built to help developers launch cloud-native apps
- However, the complexity and the plethora of options, tools, and technology are slowing down development teams while increasing maintenance
- Large organizations may be able to fund platform engineering teams, whose job it is to build and deploy cloud platforms for internal developers, and streamline DevOps practices
- But not all organizations have the resources, which is why cloud-first PaaS built on modern cloud deployment frameworks can deliver the same productivity gains to many organizations as the original PaaS did.
- Modern PaaS platforms like Heroku's new PaaS employs cloud-native buildpacks and OpenTelemetry for observability, freeing developers and platform engineering teams from manual deployments
- Its platform engineering team provides standardization and automation for DevOps, gives internal developers ease of selecting the necessary infrastructure, creates a better developer experience, reduces developer cognitive load, makes cloud deployments easier, and leverages existing developer cloud platforms.
- This provides big productivity gains as developers can now focus on what they do best; coding excellent applications.
- The return of cloud-native PaaS means that teams can abstract away the complexity from their cloud platforms, boosting the productivity of their developers.
- It is now back to having smart experts building and supporting simple, efficient, and scalable solutions for every business, allowing teams to do what they do best - coding.
