If you are building a new application today you are likely considering a move to the cloud. If so, you should take a careful look at Platform as a Service (PaaS). Using a PaaS makes it fast and easy to deploy and run high-impact applications by relieving the developer from having to integrate, configure, test, and maintain the platform-level software necessary to run applications. It will also improve your uptime, help you scale with your business and can even save you money.

delighting customers, and the reality is

resources building infrastructure to run
applications rather than building
applications that thrill users”
