The PaaS space has evolved significantly since 2009.

I agree with you on your checklist point 2-4. But I wouldn&#39;t include the first one. Actually you don&#39;t really do so too, because as your first example you mention Google App Engine which has no browser based IDE.<br /><br />A browser based IDE might be a good optional feature. I wouldn&#39;t force it on any developer though since I believe in the power of choice.<br /><br />Because of that I wouldn&#39;t include it as a must have into the definition of PaaS.Philipp Strubehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07693101136406124226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294880355377903512.post-55092081781774911852009-03-31T17:55:00.000-07:002009-03-31T17:55:00.000-07:00@ Peter, @ ahodges - yes, PaaS offers a great deal of power, but there are a number of barriers too, such as who owns the data and how the PaaS vendor can overcome security and business continuity concerns. In short, PaaS is very much a work in process!Christopher Keenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04452233158192995749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294880355377903512.post-39028658243378520642009-03-30T14:11:00.000-07:002009-03-30T14:11:00.000-07:00Chris - I enjoyed this post. I completely agree that PaaS offerings must be extremely scalable -we've spent a good bit of time outlining these same requirements. You might be interested to see how we compare ourselves among some of the others you've listed: http://www.workxpress.com/partners/it-professionals <BR/><BR/>You've made some really great points here. And because of that, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a blog our President and CEO, Treff LaPlante, posted earlier today. He asks what this all should mean to Channel Partners, how can we make this easier for everybody and "if you build it, will *they* [really] come?" http://www.workxpress.com/content/channel-partners-cloud-manifesto<BR/><BR/>I'd appreciate your feedback and further conversation on these subjects. Thanks! ~A <BR/><BR/>/follow me @WorkXpressahodgeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14121334980097821567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294880355377903512.post-6132510374688722522009-03-29T17:20:00.000-07:002009-03-29T17:20:00.000-07:00Chris,<BR/>a very informative and succinct article.
