The Busy Developers Guide to Platform-as-a-Service

Cloud computing is a multi-layered cake that has changed the landscape of how applications are built, run and managed. Manually provisioning a physical machine, manually installing all dependencies and manually designing a system to scale appropriately are all bygone techniques. Developing and deploying applications has never been easier thanks to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). But exactly what services should a worthy PaaS solution offer? How do you decide on what PaaS offering to use? How should one go about evaluating a PaaS solution?

This session will examine where PaaS fits into cloud computing, the anatomy of a PaaS solution and how a PaaS can make your application development and deployment more productive delivering a faster time-to-value.
