No mention of App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk, IBM Bluemix, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry, Parse, Firebase. The only company I recognize from that list is Heroku.<p>If you do not even talk about market leaders in a space, you&#x27;re almost guaranteed to form an inaccurate opinion.<p>That said, if the point he is trying to make that newcomers aren&#x27;t there or aren&#x27;t innovating, that&#x27;s wrong too. PaaS is not moving at the slow rate that traditional hosting went through. So the term Gartner defines goes out of date before they publish their reports. There has been plenty innovation by Parse, Firebase, Compose, Mongo in 2015. IBM Bluemix came to the scene with great modularity and Watson as a service. Google brought in a bunch of new stuff too. Docker didn&#x27;t kill PaaS, that&#x27;s like saying LAN wires killed servers. It just pushed the level of abstraction in PaaS a bit higher. Being able to throw code and being able to run it without thinking of hardware is a very 2014 problem for most people. The sex is in what&#x27;s coming next. PaaS has evolved.
