IBM® Cloud platform (formerly Bluemix) combines platform as a service (PaaS) with infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to build, run, deploy, and manage applications on the cloud. Additionally, the IBM Cloud platform has a rich catalog of cloud services that can be easily integrated with your applications. Supported programming languages and runtimes include Java, Node.js, Swift, Go, PHP, Python, and Ruby, and other languages.

IBM Cloud platform is based on open source technology. In addition to using IBM Cloud platform to build Web applications for multiple frameworks - including iOS - you can create Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, or launch virtual server instances. IBM Cloud platform follows a Hybrid Cloud model meaning that the apps, containers, and VMs that you use with the platform are portable across public, dedicated, and on-premises clouds.

The IBM Cloud platform console provides application boilerplates to help you get started. The IBM Cloud platform console offers a growing catalog of over 100 services to build applications.
