Computing Platform

A computing platform is the foundation that supports the development, deployment, and operation of software applications. It includes hardware components like servers, computers, or cloud infrastructure, along with the operating system and other essential tools. Essentially, it provides the environment where programs can run, communicate, and perform tasks. Think of it as the "stage" that hosts and enables software to function efficiently, ensuring consistency, security, and performance across different systems. Examples include Windows, macOS, Linux, or cloud services like AWS or Azure.
