application platforms

Application platforms are digital environments that provide tools and infrastructure for developers to create, run, and manage software applications efficiently. They include operating systems, cloud services, and development frameworks that handle common tasks like data storage, security, and user interfaces. By using an application platform, developers can focus on building features specific to their app, rather than worrying about underlying technical details. Think of it as a foundation that supports the building and operation of software, enabling faster development, scalability, and easier maintenance. Examples include cloud platforms like AWS or Microsoft Azure.
