What type of product is Force.com?

SaaS
PaaS
IaaS
CaaS

The correct answer is: PaaS

Force.com is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) product. This means it provides a platform that allows developers to build, test, and deploy applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. PaaS is characterized by offering a framework and tools that enable developers to create custom applications tailored to their business needs while managing resources like servers and networks on their behalf. In the context of Salesforce, Force.com allows users to quickly develop and extend apps with built-in technology like database management, APIs, and business logic through declarative tools or code. This flexibility is key for businesses looking to innovate quickly while maintaining a low barrier to entry for development. The other choices represent different models of cloud services. Software as a Service (SaaS) involves delivering software applications over the internet on a subscription basis without any need for local installation. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, and Container as a Service (CaaS) manages and orchestrates application containers. Each of these models serves different use cases, which is why they do not apply to Force.com.
