The old, insular model for developing &#8216;in-house&#8217; is showing its age\u2014in many cases on-premise IT simply can&#8217;t keep up. For the last decade, cloud computing has been gaining traction, and now, it&#8217;s finally set to surpass on-premise solutions in IT spending.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, enterprise cloud adoption was primarily focused on software as a service (<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/glossary\/#saas\" target=\"_blank\">SaaS<\/a>) and infrastructure as a service (<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/glossary\/#iaas\" target=\"_blank\">IaaS<\/a>) offerings, but lately there&#8217;s been an increasing call for enterprise adoption of the middle sibling in the cloud family: platform as a service (PaaS).<\/p>\n<p>PaaS is a model of cloud computing in which a vendor provides the user with the hardware and software tools necessary to create, deploy, and manage applications at scale, via the internet, as a service.<\/p>\n<p>PaaS eliminates the complexity and cost of buying, configuring, and managing the hardware and software needed for on-premise application development\u00a0and reduces time-to-value compared to IaaS by greatly simplifying configuration and deployment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the PaaS landscape is evolving in real time\u2014finding and deploying the right solutions can be a daunting challenge. At Solutions review, we believe that the best approach to choosing a PaaS solution is to start with the people who will be using it: your developers. To that end, we&#8217;ve created the PaaS Buyer&#8217;s Matrix Report, a visual reference and summary of the top 10 best-of-breed PaaS Solutions.<\/p>\n<p>In Solutions Review&#8217;s PaaS matrix, you&#8217;ll find the top 10 PaaS solutions: Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, Microsoft Azure, Centurylink Appfog, Cloudcontrol dotCloud, Engine Yard, Google App Engine, IBM Bluemix, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Redhat Openshift, and Salesforce Heroku.<\/p>\n<p>Each solution is compared across five categories specifically designed to help businesses and developers choose the solution that best fits their needs, whether those needs are a runtime, software stack, services offered, or macro issues such as data residency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my recent post,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/explaining-the-cloud-what-the-heck-is-paas-anyway\/\" target=\"_blank\">Explaining the Cloud: What the Heck is PaaS, Anyway?<\/a> I break down what platform as a service (PaaS)\u00a0is, why it&#8217;s important, its components, and its benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Foggy on your cloud jargon?
