# Platform as a Service (PaaS) PaaS or Platform as a Service is a delivery method in cloud computing that is halfway between Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). While IaaS provides infrastructure only, PaaS goes a step further and provides a bundle of software tools to design, test, review, and launch the product. PaaS providers host hardware and software on their own infrastructure. Transparent Edge fits into this framework. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
