Data editing and management system (PaaS)

The data editing and management system pattern is available as a platform as a service (PaaS) based deployment using ArcGIS Platform.

ArcGIS Platform provides market-leading location services to you as a PaaS managed and delivered by Esri. ArcGIS Platform provides capabilities that span the data and services/logic tiers, with mapping libraries, APIs, SDKs, and no-code options that give you full control over the presentation tier. Built on world-class cloud architecture and managed by IT and geographic information system (GIS) experts, ArcGIS Platform offers flexible location-focused PaaS for software developers, businesses, and organizations that need to bring location innovation into their products, solutions, and systems.

Base architecture

The architecture principles, components, and interactions for a data editing and management system deployed as PaaS are fundamentally the same as those in the SaaS deployment pattern. The main architectural difference is that presentation tier components (such as applications) will be created, hosted, and delivered by your organization.

Capabilities

The base capabilities of the data editing and management system deployed as PaaS are described very similar to those in the SaaS deployment pattern. Some notable differences include:

  • Data interoperability and transformation using Data Pipelines is not supported.
  • Data distribution using partnered or distributed collaboration is not supported.
  • None of the extended capabilities described in the SaaS deployment pattern are supported with the PaaS deployment pattern.

See the capability comparison for different data editing and management system deployment patterns for more information. Additionally, for a comparison of capabilities provided by ArcGIS Platform at different pricing tiers, and ArcGIS Online (SaaS), see the products, subscriptions, and accounts page of the ArcGIS Developers site.

Considerations

The architectural and operational considerations for the data editing and management system deployed as PaaS are described very similar to those in the SaaS deployment pattern. Some notable differences include:
