FaaS (framework as a service) is an offering that falls
somewhere between SaaS (software as a service) and PaaS (platform as a
service). A software framework offered by a service provider can be readily
customized to meet the business needs of the user/customer by providing the
foundation on which to rapidly develop an application or system. While it is not
a finished product like SaaS, it requires less work to implement than a full
PaaS system. FaaS vendors may offer solutions by industry verticals (e.g.,
financial institution or emergency response services applications) or by
production environment type (e.g., Web applications).
Microsoft’s Windows Azure has been referred to as a FaaS
solution since it is designed with features like .Net and Visual Studio to
provide a framework for developing cloud-based apps. Unlike language-specific
development frameworks such as Spring or Ruby on Rails, Microsoft takes an
aggregated approach to framework provisioning, bringing all the necessary tools
together in one place. Developers can use this framework ecosystem to create
cloud apps to run on Windows or Linux OS in any language, for any browser, and
any device. Software produced using this informal FaaS offering in Azure are
supported with connectivity and services by the platform and infrastructure
already in place with the cloud provider.
