PaaS and app deployment platforms take source code from Git or a container image and turn it into a running service, handling builds, routing, TLS, environment variables, logs and rollbacks for you. Some are managed clouds with usage billing, others are open source control planes you install on your own servers. They sit above raw cloud hosting and container orchestration, trading low-level control for faster, repeatable deployments.
What belongs in this category: A product belongs here when it deploys and runs applications from code or images with managed builds and routing, rather than renting bare virtual machines or requiring you to operate an orchestrator directly.
