platform services

Platform services are foundational tools and technologies that support the development, deployment, and management of software applications. Think of them as a digital infrastructure—similar to how a building has a foundation and framework—that provides essential features like storage, computing power, and security. These services enable developers to focus on creating applications without worrying about managing the underlying hardware or complex systems. Examples include cloud services like data storage, user authentication, or messaging systems provided by companies such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
