IDC's Cloud Application Deployment Platforms is focused on cloud platforms that support developers deploying highly performant, modern, and cloud-native applications. The evolution of PaaS, a market initiated by companies such as Heroku and Cloud Foundry, has evolved dramatically to include a wide variety of technologies that enable hybrid cloud platforms, including core to edge. Vendors are providing more complete infrastructure abstraction to enable developers to focus on building and deploying code. Technology coverage under this program includes Kubernetes, serverless, edge, core to edge, server-side WebAssembly, and back-end and front-end services in the context of a modern application deployment platform.
