I think PaaS demand is going to die down in the near future. The simple reason is that before, it used to be quite annoying to get a server set up, replicate it and scale it, but now with all the awesome automation tools coming out, I doubt that is going to be a problem anymore.<p>Nonetheless, I doubt PaaSes will disappear, they will still remain useful for hobby projects as you can see with this quote:<p><pre><code>  The free usage got less attractive,
  paid hobbyist usage got more attractive.
  I find it notable that the hobby-pricing-level is
  competitive with DigitalOcean.</code></pre>
