PaaS dates back to 2006 with Force.com, followed by Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and DotCloud, which later transformed into Docker.<\/p>\n<p>While the PaaS sector commands a substantial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US48603722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$170 billion market<\/a> share within the cloud industry, companies still grapple with manual deployment and workload life cycle management today. So why isn\u2019t platform-as-a-service more widely adopted?<\/p>\n<h2>Providing a PaaS experience across all workloads<\/h2>\n<p>PaaS platforms could be more versatile, and I am not speaking of language and framework compatibility. While PaaS is often defined as a one-stop shop for deploying any application, there is a catch. By applications, what is usually implied here is 12-factor applications.<\/p>\n<p>However, many workloads don\u2019t neatly fit the mold of typical web apps; they come with unique requirements, such as batch processing jobs, high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, GPU-intensive tasks, data-centric applications, or even quantum computing workloads.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t go over all the advantages that PaaS provides. Still, companies should manage all their workloads in the easiest way possible, and abstracting their deployment and management is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>A shift is needed. First, companies embracing the PaaS paradigm must recognize that there won\u2019t be a one-size-fits-all workload solution. In a recent discourse on the topic, former Google engineer Kelsey Hightower reinforces this notion that a single, all-encompassing PaaS <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kelseyhightower\/status\/1689292980761325568?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remains improbable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-block block--pullout block--right\">\n<blockquote><p>\n\t\t\tCompanies embracing the PaaS paradigm must recognize that there won\u2019t be a one-size-fits-all workload solution.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p>He also used <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kelseyhightower\/status\/1689284348296458241?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workload API<\/a> to designate a tool that provides this seamless \u201chere is my app, run it for me\u201d experience. I like the term \u201cworkload API\u201d because it clearly states the intent: to run a specific workload. Compared to platform-as-a-service (PaaS), which needs to be more accurate and leads to this confusion that PaaS is a silver bullet to running anything. I will use this term for the remainder of the article.<\/p>\n<p>The second change for companies wanting to provide a seamless deployment and management experience for all their workloads is considering that each workload should have its workload API. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/lambda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Lambda<\/a> could be used for batch jobs, <a href=\"https:\/\/vercel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vercel<\/a> for front end, <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/vertex-ai?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vertex AI<\/a> for machine learning models, and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/cloudfoundry\/korifi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Korifi<\/a> for web apps.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s explore how to pick workload APIs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/12\/10\/how-to-push-paas-usage-beyond-12-factor-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sylvain Kalache Contributor Sylvain Kalache is the co-founder of Holberton, an edtech company training digital talent in more than 10 countries.
