Types of Application Platforms

The Nexqloud ecosystem caters to different needs through specialized platform offerings:

  • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS - e.g., Nexqloud App Engine): A high-productivity environment where developers simply deploy their code. The platform manages the entire runtime, including the operating system and scaling. Ideal for getting to market quickly with web applications and APIs.‍
  • Container-Native Platform (e.g., Nexqloud Kubernetes Engine - NKE): Provides maximum control and portability for modern, microservices-based applications. Developers package apps into containers, and the platform orchestrates their deployment and management.‍
  • Serverless Platforms (e.g., Nexqloud Functions, Nexqloud Run): The ultimate in abstraction. Developers write individual functions or containerized apps, and the platform runs them on-demand, scaling automatically to zero when not in use. Perfect for event-driven workloads and APIs.‍
  • Mobile & Web Application Platform (e.g., Nexqloud Firebase): A comprehensive suite specifically for building client-facing apps, offering backend services like authentication, real-time databases, and hosting.
