The cloud can help developers build apps quickly with the growing-in-popularity Platform as a Service (PaaS). According to an infographic by Red Hat, PaaS global market will grow 26 percent per annum through 2014, with a projected market size of $1.8 billion by 2015. Those figures show that PaaS will continue to have a strong impact on business application development.
