Competition in PaaS Solutions: New Opportunities!

Dublin, November 6, 2025

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions offer an innovative approach to meet the demands of agility, security, and cost-effectiveness required for application modernization. In particular, the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and AI agents with cloud services has the potential to create robust developer ecosystems through hybrid and multi-cloud management. Suppliers focused on these areas play a crucial role in supporting businesses' digital transformation processes.

The report "Enterprise Platform-as-a-Service Solutions: Competitive Analysis," published by ResearchAndMarkets.com, provides a detailed assessment of leading PaaS suppliers in the industry, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM, Oracle, Red Hat OpenShift, Salesforce Platform, SAP BTP, and VMware Tanzu. The report describes how these suppliers integrate into the global data structure that supports application development and delivery.

In this Application Programming Interface (API) economy, the continuous generation and collection of new data is causing a massive data explosion due to the rapid increase in data points. New technologies aimed at making workflows in hybrid cloud environments easier have led to the emergence of smart automation tools that accelerate application development processes with generative artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs). Additionally, observational solutions that will enable modernization in digital supply chain and application lifecycle management are also drawing attention.

The competition in the PaaS market provides a comprehensive assessment of how suppliers are modernizing application development by integrating DevOps, low-code, AI agents, and observability. Connecting innovative solutions with hybrid/multi-cloud, open-source software adoption, and ecosystem partnerships reveals how businesses meet their needs for cost optimization and agility.
