App Hosting (PaaS)

Managed app hosting lets small teams ship web apps and APIs without managing servers, patches or load balancers.

App Hosting (PaaS): diagram comparing AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
How a managed app platform deploys code, and how AWS, Azure and Google Cloud each implement it.

Why it matters

Many applications do not need Kubernetes or custom infrastructure. Platform-as-a-service hosting gets them to production faster, with HTTPS, scaling and patching handled for you.

How it works

From push to production

Developers push code or a container image. The platform builds and deploys it with rolling or slot-based releases, scales instances with load and serves it over HTTPS with custom domains and managed certificates.

What makes each cloud different

AWS

AWS Amplify hosts front-end and full-stack apps with Gen 2 backends in TypeScript, App Runner turns source or images into HTTPS services and Elastic Beanstalk offers classic PaaS on EC2.

Azure

Azure App Service runs web apps and APIs in code or containers with deployment slots for zero-downtime swaps, and Static Web Apps pairs front ends with serverless APIs.

Google Cloud

Firebase Hosting and Firebase App Hosting serve web and full-stack Next.js or Angular apps, while App Engine and Cloud Run host services with automatic scaling.

Design decisions that matter

  1. 01PaaS first for web apps

    Move to containers only when needed.

  2. 02Staging slots for releases

    Swap after testing.

  3. 03Managed certificates and domains

    No manual renewals.

  4. 04Autoscaling limits

    Protect databases and budgets.

Common mistakes we see

  • Kubernetes for a simple website. Operations cost with no benefit.
  • Deploying straight to production. No safe rollback.
  • No scaling limits. A traffic spike becomes a bill spike.

A practical 30-day plan

  1. Week 1

    List apps suitable for PaaS.

  2. Week 2

    Move one app with CI/CD.

  3. Week 3

    Add staging, custom domain and monitoring.

  4. Week 4

    Migrate the next apps using the same template.

How NTS helps

NTS moves web applications onto managed platforms such as Amplify, App Service, Firebase and Cloud Run, with CI/CD, safe release patterns and monitoring, so small teams ship faster.

What you get

  • The right platform for each app: PaaS, containers or serverless
  • Deployment pipelines with staging and rollback
  • Custom domains, TLS and scaling
  • Cost and performance tuning

Typical outcomes

  • Faster releases with less effort
  • Lower hosting costs
  • Reliable, scalable applications

How we work with you

  1. 1Assess

    A focused review of your application hosting across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. We look for the gaps we find most often: Kubernetes for a simple website, deploying straight to production and no scaling limits.

  2. 2Design

    A target architecture and roadmap built on the decisions that matter most: PaaS first for web apps, staging slots for releases, managed certificates and domains and autoscaling limits.

  3. 3Build

    Hands-on delivery alongside your team. We list apps suitable for PaaS, move one app with CI/CD, add staging, custom domain and monitoring, and finally migrate the next apps using the same template.

  4. 4Run and improve

    We keep platforms updated, tune scaling and optimize hosting costs.

Why teams choose NTS for application hosting

  • Less infrastructure work

    Managed platforms let teams focus on features.

  • Right platform for each app

    We match hosting to each application's needs.

  • Production-ready from day one

    Scaling, monitoring and security included.
