PaaS

Platform as a Service - cloud platform where the provider manages infrastructure, allowing developers to focus solely on code.

The developer supplies only the application code. Examples include Google App Engine, Google Cloud Run, Heroku, and Dina from Norwegian Sokkel.ioNorwegian operations partner that helps Tvimenning run and manage our platform on Google Cloud..
