PaaS is not dead and it is not going anywhere.<p>We use Azure&#x27;s PaaS features known as Cloud Services and App Services (a.k.a. Azure websites&#x2F;web apps). They make deploying and scaling your app as easy as it could ever be. The App Service plans also allow you to combine multiple apps together on a group of servers which enables you to save a lot of money if you have a lot of small applications.<p>Now of course I could use a bunch of automation and do this all myself with VMs... but why? Just use Azure, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, etc.
