The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving platform as a service (PaaS) utilization. According to Gartner Inc., Gartner predicts that' by 2020' more than 50 percent of all new applications developed on PaaS will be IoT-centric, disrupting conventional architecture practices.
"IoT adoption will drive additional use of PaaS to implement IoT-centric business applications built around event-driven architecture and IoT data, instead of business applications built around traditional master data," said Benoit Lheureux, research vice president at Gartner. "New IoT-centric business applications will drive a transformation in application design practices that focus on real-time contextually rich decisions, event-analysis, lightweight workflow, and broad access to Web-scale data."
Most new IoT-centric solutions will be implemented on IoT platforms, a form of multifunctional comprehensive PaaS that is a hybrid, architecturally coherent integration of application platform as a service (aPaaS), integration platform as a service (iPaaS), IoT device management, orchestration and business process management services as a platform (bpmPaaS), database PaaS (dbPaaS) and analytics services.
Other PaaS predictions from Gartner include:
• Through 2018, more than 70 percent of IT organizations planning a private PaaS will deploy a container service (rather than PaaS framework software).
• Through 2018, more than 80 percent of organizations that deploy or assemble self-managed PaaS frameworks will not achieve the expected cloud PaaS experience.
• By 2019, a mandatory capability for the top five aPaaS providers will be the delivery of both high-productivity and high-control PaaS options.
