PaaS runtime checklist
We document what must be ready before PaaS launch: runtime, CI/CD, observability, release gates, platform SLO, rollback, secrets, backup and ownership boundaries.

We cover commercial and engineering scenarios for server infrastructure choice: TCO, checklist, migration, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO and ownership.
What the PaaS runtime checklist captures
The checklist turns PaaS from an abstract platform into a verifiable contour: runtime ownership, deployment, observability, rollback and support rules.
CI/CD and release gates
Build, deploy, approval gates, rollback criteria, environment promotion and audit trail.
Observability and platform SLO
Metrics, logs, traces, SLI/SLO, alerting rules, dashboards and incident ownership.
Security and secrets
Secrets handling, access policy, network rules, security baseline, backup policy and audit expectations.
When PaaS is better than IaaS or SaaS
PaaS fits when the team wants to control code and releases, but not manually operate OS, middleware, runtime and standard pipeline tasks.
PaaS vs IaaS
PaaS reduces OS and middleware operations while keeping application and release ownership with the product team.
PaaS vs SaaS
PaaS keeps custom application logic while SaaS gives a ready application with less control over runtime and release process.
What the team receives
The output is a platform readiness record: what is launched, how it is released, observed, rolled back and who owns each layer.
Platform readiness record
Runtime map, release gates, SLO, dashboards, rollback rules and ownership matrix.
Operations runbook
Support model, alert routing, maintenance window, backup checks and escalation contacts.

Is PaaS only about containers?
No. The checklist covers the operating model: runtime, CI/CD, observability, release gates, rollback, security, backup and ownership boundaries.
Can the checklist be used before migration?
Yes. It helps decide whether the workload should stay on IaaS, move to PaaS or become a SaaS service before migration starts.
Validate PaaS readiness
Describe applications, runtime, release process and observability: we will prepare a PaaS runtime checklist and platform readiness record.
Send a request or contact us about the project: a SO-TECH engineer will estimate TCO, compare SLA/SLO, backup, RPO/RTO and help choose the server model for your budget, workload and launch timeline.
