PaaS
The middle layer of the three-tier cloud computing service model, located between IaaS and SaaS. It abstracts runtime environments, middleware, and deployment pipelines into managed services, so that developers only need to submit code to run it.
Timeline (last 90 days)
PaaS (platform as a service) is a cloud computing service model in which the cloud provider manages underlying infrastructure such as servers, runtimes, networking, and storage, and developers only need to push code to complete building and deployment.
Vercel, Heroku, and Netlify are all managed PaaS offerings whose convenience comes from the vendor managing the infrastructure, at the cost of deployment environments being constrained by the vendor, usage-based billing, and vendor lock-in risk.
Auto-scaling is one of the core selling points of managed PaaS: the platform automatically scales instances up or down according to traffic, bills by actual usage, and developers do not need to plan capacity in advance.
Railway is a developer-oriented cloud application deployment platform that supports rapid deployment of online services from code repositories, and it belongs to the PaaS (Platform as a Service) category.
PaaS platforms need to access code repositories, manage build artifacts, inject environment variables, and maintain database connections, which means that once the platform side is compromised, an attacker may simultaneously reach the assets of multiple tenants.
Some serverless and PaaS platforms collect the complete response before returning it, breaking streaming output.
