# What is a Bespoke Platform as a Service A Digital Platform is a type of bespoke platform as a service (PaaS), built by a [platform team](https://teamtopologies.com/key-concepts) > A bespoke PaaS is a set of streamlined tools, processes, and people within your organisation, which form platform capabilities to help your organisation’s teams rapidly meet the needs of your customers. There are different types of bespoke PaaS, based on workload. The most common types we’ve seen before are Digital and Data Platforms. We advise your organisation invests in a bespoke PaaS when a clear, homogenous workload starts to emerge across multiple teams. ![Two types of bespoke Platform as a Service](/files/J9VX8EKJ0XMNTD5AWVhS) We strongly recommend you host a bespoke PaaS in a single public cloud, using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). We have deep expertise in all three of those public clouds. Each is an effective foundation for a bespoke PaaS because they offer a tried-and-tested, on-demand, cloud computing platform, with a wide range of reliable cloud services that can be provisioned instantly and billed on a pay-per-use basis. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
