PaaS vs. aPaaS

The reference to aPaaS at the start of the article makes is sound synonymous to PaaS. While PaaS is a widely-used term, aPaaS appears to come from Gartner and is used to describe platforms that push into application development and not just deployment. From the Gartner report:

"Platform as a service (PaaS) is de ned as application infrastructure functionality enriched with cloud characteristics and offered as a service."

"Application platform as a service (aPaaS) is a PaaS offering that supports application development, deployment and execution in the cloud."

"High-productivity aPaaS (hpaPaaS) provides rapid application development (RAD) features for development, deployment and execution — in the cloud."

There is a blog post from WorkFlowWise about aPaaS, but they are really describing PaaS https://www.workflowwise.com/blog/what-is-an-application-platform-as-a-service-apaas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.233.78.164 (talk) 13:32, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Platform base service term in lede?

The term platform base service in the first sentence of the lede seems odd. It's an unfamiliar term to me, and it's unsourced. If you Google the phrase, almost every result looks like it's a cut and paste from the article - word for word. Here's the sentence where it appears: Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) or platform base service... Anyone else familiar with the term, who can source it? If not, we should just delete it. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:31, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
