Platforms as a service (PaaS) remove the need for organizations to manage the underlying infrastructure
which are hardware and operating systems to allow the organization focus on the deployment and
management of their applications. This helps organization be more efficient as they do not have to worry

undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your application. (AWS, 2022)
