The author introduced the concept of aPaaS to you in "A Thorough Introduction to What is aPaaS" . So, what are the current aPaaS products at home and abroad, and what are the characteristics of these aPaaS platform products, let me introduce you one by one.
aPaaS meaning in Chinese
Let’s review what aPaaS is: “aPaaS is a solution based on PaaS (Platform as a Service) that supports the development, deployment and operation of applications in the cloud, and provides users with infrastructure in the software, including data objects and permissions. Management, user interface, etc."
In layman's terms, aPaaS is a platform for building code-free application software. aPaaS breaks the technical boundaries, and I think this is the most remarkable aspect of aPaaS. Suppose you need a certain set of management software, you don't need to find a technical staff to develop it, you can spend a few hours on the aPaaS platform to get this system. Compared with standardized SaaS solutions, the aPaaS platform is more flexible and can adjust functions as needed.
