PaaS can help with microservice architectures, because PaaS often provides things like service discovery and other “glue” necessary to stitch all the various pieces together. That, in turn, leads to wanting to be able to manage and place the workload intelligently based on data from any level—i.e., PaaS increases efficiency.
