On-Premises Infrastructure vs Platform as a Service
Developers should learn about on-premises infrastructure when working in environments with strict data sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, such as government agencies, financial institutions, or healthcare organizations, where sensitive data must be stored locally meets developers should use paas when they need to accelerate application development, reduce operational overhead, and focus on coding rather than infrastructure management. Here's our take.
On-Premises Infrastructure
Developers should learn about on-premises infrastructure when working in environments with strict data sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, such as government agencies, financial institutions, or healthcare organizations, where sensitive data must be stored locally
On-Premises Infrastructure
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about on-premises infrastructure when working in environments with strict data sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, such as government agencies, financial institutions, or healthcare organizations, where sensitive data must be stored locally
Pros
- +It is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud, or for organizations seeking full control over hardware performance and customization without reliance on external providers
- +Related to: data-center-management, virtualization
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Platform as a Service
Developers should use PaaS when they need to accelerate application development, reduce operational overhead, and focus on coding rather than infrastructure management
Pros
- +It is ideal for web and mobile app development, microservices architectures, and DevOps practices, as it provides built-in scalability, security, and integration with other cloud services
- +Related to: cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-a-service
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use On-Premises Infrastructure if: You want it is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud, or for organizations seeking full control over hardware performance and customization without reliance on external providers and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Platform as a Service if: You prioritize it is ideal for web and mobile app development, microservices architectures, and devops practices, as it provides built-in scalability, security, and integration with other cloud services over what On-Premises Infrastructure offers.
