I. Introduction
Enterprises want to smoothly migrate to the cloud, they need to choose a cloud infrastructure framework that suits them. As an important part of cloud computing, PaaS (Platform as a Service) can provide users with complete application life cycle management and related resource services . Developers can build and customize applications on the PaaS framework, which greatly saves money, time and manpower for enterprises .
PaaS is designed to help developers focus on writing, running, and managing applications without worrying about and thinking about the underlying infrastructure, while maintaining IT operational control over their systems . After an enterprise uses PaaS, its server, storage, and network will be managed by the PaaS service provider, and the enterprise's developers will maintain and manage the application program by themselves. The company develops software applications through PaaS, so that the software applications have cloud capabilities. Cloud functions make applications highly scalable and available on multiple devices.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of PaaS
Advantage:
- PaaS is cost-effective, scalable, and easily migrated to a hybrid model.
- It allows developers to focus more on application development and creation.
- Ability to maximize the use of cloud provider services and resources.
Disadvantages and limitations:
- Developers need to have coding knowledge to maximize the use of PaaS platforms.
- Control over the application depends on the platform.
- It reduces customer control and flexibility.
- There may be data security and integration issues like SaaS solutions.
There are many types of PaaS, including public PaaS, private PaaS and hybrid PaaS, which can provide the tools needed for faster application delivery according to the way IT personnel require.
3. Enterprise-level PaaS system
The JNPF rapid development platform is a development platform for PaaS services, which integrates the two major systems of the PC terminal and the mobile terminal , and has the characteristics of rapid development and rapid application . As a set of digital technology tool platforms, it can realize rapid construction, data arrangement, connection ecology, middle-end services, etc. based on more efficient methods such as graphical drag and drop and parameterized configuration .
In order to support application development with higher technical requirements, from database modeling, Web API construction to page design, there is almost no difference from traditional software development . Only through the low-code visualization mode, the repetitive labor of building the "addition, deletion, modification and query" function is reduced.

4. How does PaaS support IT business operations?
Leverage Existing Technology and Investment: Whether using Python, JavaTM, Ruby or Node.js, developers get the tools they need to code quickly in the language they know.
- Reduce costs: Employees can automatically access the content they need and focus on business innovation. Efficiently meet business needs without additional personnel or environmental investment.
- Shorten the application development cycle: According to UBM Tech's research, "56% of the respondents believe that PaaS can shorten the application development cycle by more than 20%".
- Realize efficient DevOps: Effectively improve the relationship between developers and IT operations, allowing you to quickly develop and deploy applications, and provide continuous delivery capabilities required for efficient DevOps strategies.
- Increased productivity: Self-service capabilities allow developers to quickly adjust settings to suit their needs. In addition, the automatic configuration function of the development environment can also help developers code faster. The IT operation team can focus more on infrastructure maintenance and business innovation, instead of being constrained by tedious and time-consuming problem ticket management.

V. Summary
With the support of the PaaS platform, cloud computing developers obtain a large number of programmable elements with specific business logic, which brings great convenience to development, not only improves development costs, but also saves development costs. With the supported PaaS platform, Web application development becomes more flexible, able to quickly respond to customer needs and development capabilities, bringing tangible benefits.
