Teams using IaaS and traditional application servers to deploy cloud applications benefit on-demand efficiencies, but continue to spend significant effort on application delivery, including deployment, scaling, and governance. PaaS solutions have helped automate some functions, but still falls short. Examining how to address these challenges with a PaaS, this session also reviewed the architectural approach of the WSO2 Private PaaS to be cloud native, providing polyglot language and environment support, and ability to run on multiple runtimes.
