Elaster Labs is the first PaaS in Taiwan created by TCloud Computing Inc. It is a free platform for developers to build and run cloud-based applications without having to manage infrastructure. Elaster Labs uses Elaster CAP, an open source PaaS platform that provides services like Java/PHP runtimes, databases, search/indexing, and big data storage. Developers can access these services through SDKs, REST APIs or third-party libraries to build SaaS applications. Support is provided through forums, documentation and social media. The goal is to learn from developers' needs and expand Elaster Labs across Asia with more features and documentation.
