Abstract

A wide variety of service models and options is being offered by cloud solution providers, ranging from simple infrastructure to complex business applications. While the use of cloud-based infrastructure and software services has become common in many enterprises, the Platform-as-a-Service model has yet to take off. Platform providers have invested heavily in their offerings in the last years. The result is a big toolbox consisting of cloud-based components for everything that is needed to implement, deploy and run custom software applications. The developer’s expectation is that these components just have to be configured and plugged together to get scalable multi-tiered applications. In our research, we practically evaluated major cloud development platforms on the basis of the requirements of a typical web-based business application.
