Software that turns source code or images into running applications.
Definition
Software that turns source code or images into running applications.
Real-world example
Developers git push; the platform builds, runs health checks, routes HTTPS, and shows logs - whether hosted (Heroku) or self-hosted (Better-PaaS).
Common mistake
Confusing a deployment platform with a CDN or database - you still need to provision data stores and assets appropriately.
Better-PaaS in practice
Better-PaaS covers build/deploy/route/observability on your VPS. You bring the server and own the data.
FAQ
Is deployment platform only relevant to Better-PaaS?
No. deployment platform appears across Docker, cloud platforms, and self-hosted tooling. Better-PaaS exposes the concept in deploy logs, dashboard fields, or docs when it affects your app.
