An app developer is shopping for a cloud service that will allow him to build code, store information in a database and serve his application from a single place. What type of cloud service is he looking for?

Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Explanation:

In this scenario, an app developer is shopping for a cloud service that will allow him to build code, store information in a database and serve his application from a single place. The type of cloud service he is looking for is a platform as a service (PaaS).

In Computer science, Platform as a Service (PaaS) refers to a type of cloud computing model in which a service provider makes available a platform that allow users (software developers) to build code (develop), run, store information in a database and manage applications over the internet.

The main purpose of a Platform as a Service (PaaS) is to provide an enabling environment for software developers to code without having to build and maintain complex infrastructure needed for the development, storage and launching of their software applications.

Simply stated, PaaS makes provision for all of the software and hardware tools required for all the stages associated with application development over the internet (web browser).

Hence, the advantage of the Platform as a Service (PaaS) is that, it avails software developers with enough convenience as well as simplicity, service availability, ease of licensing and reduced costs for the development of software applications.

These are the different types of Platform as a Service;

1. Private PaaS.

2. Public PaaS.

3. Hybrid PaaS.

4. Mobile PaaS.

5. Communications PaaS.

6. Open PaaS.

The software developers can choose any of the aforementioned types of PaaS that is suitable, effective and efficient for their applications development. Some examples of PaaS providers are Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle etc.

i've had the same problem. i generally just ignore it, as a ton of these "verified answers" are completely wrong.
