Mobile Platform as a service (mPaaS) is a development and deployment environment in the cloud to deliver mobile applications. PaaS includes infrastructure, middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. The resources can be purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis and accessed over an internet connection. It is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing and managing, and updating. It allows one to avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing software licenses.”]
