Transcript of Public PaaS Throwdown!
Agenda
● What is PaaS?● The Contenders● Sample App/Criteria● Analysis/Scorecards● Q/A
What is PaaS?
● Write, deploy, run.● Self service● Polygot● Great for developers● Great for Ops (STOP giving developers VMs!)

The Contenders
Elastic Beanstalk
...ALL RUNNING ON EC2
Elastic Beanstalk
Sample Apps
● Ticketmonster● Example Ticketing App● Java EE6 - JSF 2, JPA 2, CDI and JAX-RS Along with HTML5, jQuery Mobile, JSF and GWT, postgres
https://github.com/jboss-jdf/ticket-monster
● Etherpad● A really-real time collaborative word processor for the webg● node.js, mongodb
https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite
OPEN SOURCE!!
Criteria
● Free Tier? Costs?● Polygot? At least Java + node.js support● Speed to live?● Tooling?● Does it scale?● Lock-in?● Is it Open Source?● Can I go to Production?● Where is my app running? Can I run the PaaS somewhere else?
AWS – Elastic Beanstalk
● “Wizard for deploying apps to EC2”● Is it really Paas?● Fast, easy, and massively scalable though...

Summary
All of contenders have a free tier + speed to live
Key Differentiators are:● Community and Support● Cost after free (depends on workload profile)● Production readiness
All of these run on EC2 under the covers :-)
No more excuses... code. deploy. innovate.
