Application Platform as a Service
(aPaaS) is one of the hottest areas of
cloud computing, and rightfully so, as
it can dramatically improve the speed
and ease with which organizations
deliver custom business applications.
The challenge for IT professionals is
that aPaaS is an emerging market.
There’s a lot of confusion about what
aPaaS is (and isn’t)—an issue that’s
compounded by vendors taking
a variety of different approaches,
including “aPaaS-washing” their
existing technology.
We put together The Ultimate Guide
to aPaaS to shed some much-needed
light on aPaaS: what it is, what’s the
value and how it can help transform
your app delivery approach.
One thing is clear: Traditional App
Delivery is Broken. While the need
has never been greater for custom
apps to grow and differentiate
businesses, they must be delivered in
a more rapid, agile and collaborative
manner than ever before. Fortunately,
the right aPaaS can help.

10,000-foot View
An application Platform as a Service (aPaaS)
is a cloud service for designing, building,
deploying and managing custom business
applications. In other words, it’s a single,
comprehensive app delivery platform that
seamlessly supports the entire application
lifecycle.

Beware of aPaaS-washing
Many vendors are “aPaaS-washing” their existing technology in the rush to
enter the market. One example is solutions that simplify code deployment to the
cloud, an approach that offers some efficiency gains, but doesn’t address all the
challenges with code-based development. True aPaaS solutions accelerate app
development while supporting the entire application lifecycle.

Putting aPaaS into Broader Cloud Context
3
Before going any further, it’s important to put aPaaS (and its various flavors) into
the broader cloud computing context. Recognizing that the lines between SaaS,
PaaS and IaaS have blurred, Mendix CTO Johan den Haan developed a new
framework to categorize the cloud landscape.
Notice how as you move up the stack, each layer abstracts away from technical
details until you reach the applications themselves. Similarly, the corresponding
target users move progressively from IT to the business users.

JOHAN’S FULL CLOUD FRAMEWORK

For this eBook, we’ll
focus on three key
layers:
Putting aPaaS into Broader Cloud Context
3
Layer 2: Foundational PaaS – Allows
the developer to concentrate on the
application itself rather than the ancillary
components needed to run it.
Layer 3: aPaaS – Deals with the
application code in its human-readable
form, before compilation. Professional
developers can upload their code to an
aPaaS without having to worry about
compilation or middleware.
Layer 4: Model-Driven aPaaS –
Provides additional support for visual
modeling languages that accelerate
app development, and are often easy
enough for business users with less
development expertise to use effectively.

Not All aPaaS are Equal: Speed vs. Control
3
As you may have guessed from looking
at the image on the previous page, not
all aPaaS solutions are created equal.
Generally, the various platforms on the
market are categorized based on the
degree to which they enable developer
speed or control.
For example, Gartner delineates two
categories of aPaaS based on the
developer experience: high-control and
high-productivity. Forrester Research,
meanwhile, distinguishes between cloud
platforms for DevOps Pros, Coders and
Rapid Developers (Figure 2).
Regardless of the precise classification,
it’s clear that there are divergent
philosophies with regards to aPaaS. As
an IT leader, it’s important to evaluate
them carefully and choose the approach
that will deliver the most business value
to your organization in the long run.
Forrester Delineates Cloud Platforms
for 3 Types of Developers

Model-Driven aPaaS: Transforming App Development
3
In the high-productivity aPaaS category,
there is a subset of platforms that
leverage Model-Driven Development
(MDD) in various ways. MDD is a
software engineering approach that uses
visual models to create applications with
the goal of abstracting away from code
and other technical details in order to
accelerate app delivery timeframes,
while improving business impact.
Previously, the complexity of IT meant
that only highly-skilled specialists
could work in complex programming
languages. But faced with the need for
greater speed and simplicity, companies
are looking to domain experts to take
an active role in the app development
process. The goal of MDD is to make it
easy enough for business-level users
to build apps themselves, as well as
easily understand/review functionality
developed by others. In the process,
professional developers are freed up
to focus on more technical details of
applications, such as integration or
performance.

Model-Driven aPaaS: Bringing IT & Business Together
3
The inherent value of model-driven
aPaaS is that it brings IT and the
business together, enabling more rapid,
iterative and collaborative development.
Because visual models are used to
define application logic, process flow,
layouts, etc., MDD empowers both
developers and business users to rapidly
build applications, without the need for
low-level coding. In fact, an analysis by
global system integrator Capgemini (see
Figure 4) found MDD to be significantly
faster than traditional programming
languages like C# and Java.
In addition, model-driven aPaaS ensures
short feedback cycles as changes to a
model can quickly and directly be tested
in the actual application. It also provides
an excellent communication mechanism
to align business and IT stakeholders,
thereby ensuring greater quality and
more successful outcomes.

traditional programming languages

Model-Driven aPaaS: The Model is the Application
3
Model Execution vs. Code
GenerationThere are several aPaaS
offerings that apply MDD principles in
some shape or form. The key to realizing
the full benefits, though, is to make
MDD part of the full app delivery cycle:
from design and development through
deployment. This calls for an approach
where the model is the application. In
other words, the platform executes the
model in the runtime—a concept known as
model execution.
Model execution contrasts to code
generation paradigms, where code
(e.g. Java or .NET) is generated from a
high-level model in order to run the app.
These platforms are targeted mainly at
developers and require deep technical
skills to get applications to work.
Moreover, they’re often inflexible, have
maintainability challenges and require
more hassle to cover enterprise security,
scalability and performance requirements.
In short, code generation approaches
provide only incremental efficiency gains—
while model execution helps organizations
to capitalize on the true potential and
value of MDD.
“Most of the new productivity platforms
employ an underlying technology we call
metadata execution… Simply put, the
tools output definitions, not code, and the
definitions are then interpreted by the
platform to create the running application.
Metadata definition is far more flexible than
code generation, the productivity technique
that preceded it.”
-Forrester Research
Comparing code generation and
model execution techniques

aPaaS: The iOS of Enterprise App Delivery
3
If you think about it, aPaaS is like the iOS for
enterprise app delivery.
Apple didn’t just introduce a new digital music
player; it completely rethought music delivery.
Multiple technologies had to come together to
make this possible: iTunes, an integrated App
Store full of content, ubiquitous Internet, solid
state storage, and smaller, faster processors.
Similarly, aPaaS flawlessly integrates a new
way of building applications (model-driven
development), one-click deployment (cloud),
a complete technology stack (scalable and
cost effective), content from an ecosystem
(App Store), and an engaging platform for
social collaboration. Technologies like cloud
computing, open source, mobile, social
collaboration, web services, and Internet
bandwidth had to come together to make this
possible.
Just swapping out the stereo for a digital
music player didn’t change the game;
rethinking music delivery did. aPaaS is one
of the fastest-growing IT markets because
leading vendors are doing the same:
rethinking app delivery.
Converging technologies redefined
app delivery, just like they did with
music delivery.

Why is aPaaS so
hot right now?

aPaaS Adoption Surging
3
Just a few years ago, PaaS/aPaaS was
barely a blip on the radar. Today, it’s one of
the fastest-growing segments of the cloud
computing market.
IDC estimates that between now and 2017,
the PaaS market will grow 30% annually,
reaching $14 billion by 2017. Another
report published by 451 Research predicts
PaaS spending to grow at 36% CAGR,
exceeding $20 billion by 2016.
Of the various PaaS sub-categories, aPaaS
is contributing more than its share to this
torrid growth. That’s because several
macro trends are converging, creating
unprecedented demand for custom
business applications while revealing the
inherent limitations with tradition tools and
approaches.
In other words, PaaS has become a must-
have for today’s enterprise. In the pages
that follow, we will explore why.

Total Growth by 2016

Trend #1: The Pace of Change is Accelerating
3
Across the board, the pace of change is
accelerating rapidly. New products and
technologies are being introduced at
mindboggling speeds. Moreover, these
innovations are reaching mainstream
adoption in a fraction of the time it took
just a few decades ago.
This rapid change is forcing businesses
to constantly generate new sources of
growth, innovation, and differentiation.
While opportunities are abundant, the
window to capitalize on them is smaller
than ever.
Consequently, IT teams are under
immense pressure to find faster ways of
delivering applications to support growing
business demands. Equally important,
they need to build frequent change into
their process, delivering new software on
a weekly or even daily basis to react to
evolving needs or market conditions.
From No Telephone to Smartphones

Trend #2: Software is Disrupting Industries
3
Disrupt or be disrupted. That is the
harsh reality businesses face today.
Thanks to the speed of innovation—and
lower barriers to entry—new players
are disrupting even the most mature
industries.
For proof, look no farther than Uber in
transportation, Nest in home hardware,
Square in finance and so on. What these
innovative companies have in common is
the following:
New players disrupting the status quo
App-driven approach
Continuously releasing app
enhancements
Whether you’re a startup or established
enterprise, custom business applications
have become a primary driver for growth
and differentiation. Today, every company
must think—and act—like a software
company. To do so, IT must work more
closely with the business and put in
the right framework and processes to
accelerate application-fueled innovation.

Trend #3: Consumerization’s Impact on the Enterprise
3
It’s easy to cast the “consumerization of
IT” as just another overhyped buzzword.
In reality, our personal experiences have
radically transformed expectations for
business apps in the enterprise.
Business users are demanding that IT
deliver the same kinds of intuitive and
intelligent apps they use every day.
Having finally experienced how simple yet
powerful software can be, they expect:
Multiple lightweight apps focused on
specific needs, not a single monolithic
suite
Apps that are so simple and intuitive
that extensive training isn’t required
Apps that are available on-demand,
from a central App Store
Multi-channel apps that work
seamlessly on any device (PC, tablet, or
smartphone)
Apps that are developed rapidly, and
updated constantly

Reality Check: Enterprise IT Hasn’t Kept Pace
3
While the world around them has changed
dramatically, many enterprise IT teams
remain stuck in the past, bogged down
in a quagmire of legacy systems and
outdated development methods. They’re
unable to keep pace with growing
demands because they:
Focus on Keeping the Lights On –
80% of IT budgets is spent on
maintaining existing systems, leaving
little resources for projects aimed at
capitalizing on new opportunities.
Treat All Applications the Same –
IT addresses all app delivery projects
with a single, uniform approach geared
towards large, complex and slow-to-
change systems.
Rely Solely on Coding – IT continues to
rely on code, which is a barrier to rapid,
iterative and collaborative development.
Developers and business stakeholders
lack a common ‘language,’ which makes
the process of translating requirements
into software too long, too complicated
and too risky.
“If we rely solely on coding, we’re
going to fail. It’s too slow. It’s too
inflexible… We can’t move fast
enough.”

What are the common
features of aPaaS?
3

At the beginning of this eBook, we
defined an application Platform
as a Service (aPaaS) as a single,
comprehensive platform that supports
the entire application lifecycle. In
this section, we will use that lifecycle
to illustrate the key features of an
enterprise aPaaS.

Agile Project Management
To facilitate rapid, iterative and collaborative
development cycles, the aPaaS should be
aligned with the agile/scrum methodologies,
with built-in features for:
Capturing, refining and prioritizing user
stories, and managing the project backlog
Estimating and planning sprints and
releases
Monitoring sprint progress using scrum
boards and burn-down charts

An aPaaS supports the Design phase of the application lifecycle through agile project
management and social collaboration features.
Social Collaboration
Moreover, it’s essential to break down
walls between departments with a central
collaboration space that’s as fun and easy
to use as Facebook. Activity streams,
threads, polls and chat features help spark
conversations that generate new ideas
and refine applications. They also help
keep stakeholders aligned and engaged
throughout the project lifecycle.

Visual Model-Driven Development
Model-Driven Development (MDD)
has emerged as one of the leading
approaches for enabling rapid, collaborative
development. MDD uses visual models
for defining data models, application-
and process logic, user interfaces,
etc. Consequently, both developers
and business users can quickly build
applications, without low-level coding. MDD
also ensures short feedback cycles as
changes can directly be tested in the actual
application.

The visual modeling environment of
the Mendix App Platform.
In the Develop phase, it is important to that the aPaaS leverage a development paradigm that
fosters greater communication, productivity and short iterations.
Extend Models with Custom Code
Standard MDD functionality is more
than sufficient for most applications.
However, there may be instances where
developers need to fall back on a general
purpose language to extend a model.
Thus, integration with a 3rd generation
programming language (like Java) is an
important part of a model-driven aPaaS.

Accelerate Development with an App Store
Many aPaaS vendors help further accelerate development productivity with an App Store
populated with pre-built templates, widgets, plugins and even complete business components.
In this sense, developing an app becomes more like “composing” the necessary building
blocks. You’re able to jumpstart the process by easily reusing common components versus
reinventing the wheel each project.
There are two main types of App Stores:
3
The Mendix App Store is fully
integrated with the development
environment, enabling 1-click reuse
of application components.
Public App Store – A central place for
community members to share reusable
templates and components. Most are
open source, but many App Stores also
feature commercial templates and full
applications.
Enterprise App Store – A secure
app store for IT teams to manage,
share and re-use all internal apps and
components.

One-Click Cloud Deployment
Having sufficiently improved speed of
development, the last thing you want
is for your team to get bogged down
with deployment issues. Instant cloud
deployment is therefore an essential feature
of aPaaS. With platforms that use executable
models, a single click is typically all that’s
required to run your app in the cloud.
Monitoring Dashboard and Alerts
In addition, an aPaaS typically includes
a central dashboard for managing your
applications, (including availability, security,
performance and scalability), as well as the
ability to easily configure alerts.
Flexible Deployment Models
While the public cloud is often sufficient,
there are scenarios necessitating alternate
deployment options, whether private
cloud, on-premise, or hybrid. Thus, it’s
important that the platform offer flexibility of
deployment Even if this is not an immediate
need, this flexibility can save you major
headaches down the road.

Mendix Cloud.

Since high-level, visual languages enable domain experts to be part of the development
process, there is an increase in so-called Business Unit Application Development. This should
not be something to be afraid of. In fact, an aPaaS can IT to become more scalable and
responsive, allowing the business to take advantage of more opportunities.
Platforms typically include built-in features that help ensure availability, security, performance
and scalability. In addition, they provide IT with tools to manage all applications from a single
dashboard and enforce workflows around deployment, testing, and configuration. In short, an
aPaaS can help IT can control the app jungle!

the status of applications in
test, acceptance and production
environments.

3
Unique or innovative applications are often marked by unclear requirements, as well as frequent
ongoing changes as needs evolve. Thus, the iterate process extends across the entire lifecycle,
from the initial project phases to apps already in production.
New apps (or functionality) often start with an idea. Business and IT need an environment that
facilitates collaboration, allowing them to work from ideas to apps through frequent iterations.
Since key feedback comes from end-users as they lay their hands on an app, the ability to
provide frequent demos/prototypes and easily incorporate feedback are key aPaaS features.
Closed-Loop Feedback
For instance, feedback mechanisms can capture end-user feedback and feed it directly to the
development team, fueling ongoing enhancements. Ideally, these mechanism will automatically
capture additional context (user, browser, form, etc.) that allows developers to more easily
understand and address needs.

application.

3
Like the iterate phase, collaboration is something that must extend across the entire app
lifecycle. A model-driven aPaaS includes features that bring IT and the business together,
fostering greater collaboration and communication. These features include:
The Mendix App Platform feature for
instantly inviting other users to
your app.
Social collaboration capabilities
to keep all stakeholders aligned and
engaged, and facilitate the process of
translating requirements into working
apps
Model-driven development
which provides a common language for
business and IT, allowing them to jointly
build, understand, review and refine
applications
Sandboxes environments for instantly
deploying and sharing demos and
prototypes with other users in order to
gather feedback and iterate towards a
final version
Feedback loops to capture end-user
feedback and feed it directly to the
development team

What is the business
value of aPaaS?

Business Value of aPaaS

Greater IT-Business Collaboration
History has shown that improving developer
productivity alone has only marginal impact
on app delivery success. Model-driven aPaaS
helps organizations deliver outsized results by
bringing IT and the business together, fostering
greater collaboration throughout the entire
app lifecycle. Organizations find that they’re
able to dramatically improve the time to market
and quality of business applications, while
minimizing the traditional complexity and risk.
“We put developers and business
users together and they can
collaborate very rapidly. We create
prototypes and make changes
quickly and easily…. Creating
software at LV= requires much
more than coding. You need to
understand business processes,
first and foremost.”
Rod Willmott
Fast Track Director
Smaller, More Efficient Teams
Model-driven aPaaS changes the dynamics
of project teams. Instead of a dozen or more
specialist developers, you’re able to have
smaller, cross-functional teams of 2-5 people.
These teams are typically made up of “business
engineers” that combine strong domain
knowledge with an affinity for technology.
Because they bridge the gap between IT and
the business, this new breed of developers can
deliver apps at faster speeds, higher quality
and lower costs. For instance, companies like
Arch Re Fac, Capgemini, LV= insurance, Teraco
and TNT Express all built large or complex apps
with just two business engineers.
With only two developers working
in weekly sprints, Teraco built
a core back-end system that
supports business processes
across the entire organization,
including CRM, operations and
billing.

3
Faster Time to Market
Hands down, model-driven aPaaS offers
the fastest way to deliver custom business
applications. As illustrated in the Capgemini
analysis discussed earlier, when you replace
traditional coding with MDD, building
applications becomes orders of magnitude
faster. Coupled with instant cloud deployment,
these massive productivity gains can shrink
what would have been a 6 month project
literally down to 6 weeks.
“Even though we started a couple
of months later than planned, we
still delivered the new sales app on
time – and the reason was Mendix.
We had initially estimated about 30
days of development time for each
interface. But with Mendix, we had
working interfaces in two days.”
Matthias Bartels
Business App Leader
Significant Cost Savings & ROI
aPaaS generates significant cost savings over
traditional application development and delivery
methods. Here are a few different ways how:
Fewer People – In addition to small teams, you
need fewer highly-skilled, expensive developers.
Shorter Projects – Higher productivity results in
shorter projects and lower overhead.
Better Software – A collaborative, iterative
approach leads to less rework.
Better Software – Instant cloud deployment
eliminates large infrastructure investments.
The Boston Globe uses the
Mendix aPaaS to rapidly deliver
custom applications. As a result
of faster time to market, greater
staff efficiency, and lower software
maintenance fees, Globe VP of IT
notes, “it’s almost a clean ROI in 3
months.”

3
Ease and Frequency of Change
As one industry analyst recently notes, time to
market means two things:
Fast delivery of the initial release
Prompt updates and changes “designed in”
The latter is equally as important given the
accelerating pace of change. Frequent updates
are required, even demanded by the business.
Fortunately, model-driven aPaaS makes updates
as fast and as easy as the initial release.
In addition to allowing KPN to
quickly build a new application
that supports its 2G, 3G and 4G
networks, the Mendix aPaaS
has reduced time to market for
subsequent modifications by
70%, saving about $300,000 per
release. Consequently, KPN can roll
out new service offerings months
sooner than previously possible.
Massive Opportunity Costs
Lastly, it’s important not to overlook opportunity
costs. By accelerating project timelines and
outcomes, aPaaS unlocks greater efficiencies
and revenues, resulting in a cascading effect.
The true value becomes staggering when you
multiply these benefits over dozens of apps.
Suddenly, IT is in the position of being a true
strategic partner that is driving the business
forward, helping the company to grow, innovate
and differentiate itself.
“We’re fundamentally
transforming the way IT enables
the business. We’re just getting
started in terms of how we can
leverage the platform to drive our
innovation and growth.”
Harald Swinkels
CEO and Co-Founder

Evaluating aPaaS:
Key Questions to Ask
3

3
1. How easy is it to build applications?
Incremental improvements to code-based
methods simply won’t suffice. You’ll want
to pay careful attention to how easy it is
for non-developers to actively participate
in the process.
Does it leverage a proprietary
programming language that requires
highly-specialized developers? Or is built
around a visual paradigm that allows both
developers and business users to build
and review apps?
Is there an app store full of pre-built
widgets and components that can be
easily used in new apps, saving time and
effort?
2. Can the platform be used to integrate
with, or extend, any existing systems?
While certain platforms are geared
towards extending specific systems (i.e.
CRM), they may fall short in addressing
your full range of app delivery and
integration needs.
Can you easily build new apps and
extend existing enterprise systems (e.g.
SAP, Oracle) with modern multi-channel
apps?
Can you seamlessly integrate new apps
with any existing process and system?
Are there capabilities like workflow
integration, open APIs and prepackaged
connectors?
aPaaS is an emerging market with a variety of different approaches, which can make for an
apples and oranges comparison. To help IT leaders choose the best aPaaS for their needs—
now and in the future— we put together this list of important questions to ask.

3
3. Are there capabilities to facilitate IT/
business collaboration?
Many aPaaS solutions overlook crucial
capabilities for keeping all stakeholders
aligned and engaged throughout the project
lifecycle.
Are there native social collaboration
features native, including Facebook-like
activity streams and built-in chat?
Are there agile project management tools
for creating user stories, managing sprints
and releases, and tracking progress with
scrum boards and burn-down charts?
Can developers quickly share prototypes
that are working applications with
the team or groups of end users for
feedback?
4. Scalability and performance
Certain aPaaS solutions may only be suited
for lightweight departmental apps, not core
enterprise systems. Depending on your
specific needs, you may want to ask:
Does the platform offer the required
scalability, performance, security, etc.?
What are some performance benchmarks
for the platform?
Are there clients who have successfully
delivered core, back-end systems?
5. Can you deliver truly multi-device
applications?
While enterprise mobile apps are hot, it’s
important to remember that mobile is not—
and should never be—an island.
Can you build an application once
and make it accessible to users via all
devices?
Are there capabilities for easily building
mobile and tablet-specific interfaces?
Can you manage all of the back-end
requirements of enterprise mobile apps?
6. How fast and flexible is the
deployment process?
Deployment issues should not slow
a project down or even concern your
development team. When evaluating
aPaaS, it’s essential that deployment is as
fast and easy as plugging an appliance
into a power outlet.
Can you literally deploy an app to the
cloud with one click?
Can you move seamlessly from test to
acceptance to production environments?
Are there flexible deployment options:
public cloud, private cloud, hybrid or on
premise?

Thanks to a groundswell of
technological innovation, the pace
of change is accelerating rapidly.
Businesses today need more and
more applications to innovate, grow
and differentiate themselves. The
challenge is that a continued reliance
on traditional app development
and delivery methods has put IT on
thin ice—struggling with growing
backlogs, project failures and
tarnished reputations.
With the world around them moving
at warp speed, organizations need to
transform their app delivery approach.
Application Platform as a Service
(aPaaS) offers much-needed light
at the end of the tunnel. With the
right platform, IT and business can
work together to deliver apps in a
more rapid, agile and collaborative
manner than they ever imagined.
Finally, there’s a way to deliver
custom business apps at the speed of
business!
