The CloudBees platform is the first Platform as a Service (PaaS) that lets software engineers to build, test and deploy Java web applications in the cloud. With CloudBees, software teams can move their development and production activities instantly to the cloud, without restrictions or infrastructure costs. http://www.cloudbees.com/ 

CloudBees offers this cloud-based Java application platform that spans the complete develop-to-deploy lifecycle of Java web applications in the cloud. The CloudBees platform delivers reliable and elastic on-demand resources, unlimited scalability, and a seamless transition from development to production. 

All of the services that we need to store (Git, SVN, Maven), build and test (Jenkins) our applications in the cloud are available as a software as a service (SaaS). Any JVM-based applications can be instantly deployed on the CloudBees PaaS in a snap and use the "MySQL-as-a-Service" to safely store the data. 

There are a number of informative and inspiring resources in the Web site that teach and tutor any developers interested in using this new-generation platform to build, host and run a variety of Java applications in the Cloud directly and affordably.
