CaaS Insights | Sumble

What is CaaS?

CaaS, or Containers as a Service, is a cloud service that allows users to manage and deploy containerized applications. It provides a platform for orchestrating containers, often using tools like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Apache Mesos. CaaS offers infrastructure and tools for managing the entire container lifecycle, from building and deploying to scaling and monitoring. It's commonly used for microservices architectures, DevOps workflows, and application portability.

What other technologies are related to CaaS?

CaaS Competitor Technologies

PaaS

PaaS provides a platform for developers to build, run, and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. While it can leverage containers, it offers a higher level of abstraction than CaaS, handling many operational aspects that CaaS leaves to the user. Thus, it is an alternative way of deploying apps.

FaaS

FaaS is an event-driven, serverless computing execution model. CaaS is often used as the foundation for building FaaS platforms, so they can be seen as adjacent technologies used for different levels of application architecture, but FaaS provides more abstraction.
