Explanation

SaaS delivers a fully functional application over the internet. The customer simply uses the software; the vendor manages everything underneath - infrastructure, runtime, middleware, and the application itself. IaaS provides raw compute, storage, and networking. PaaS provides a development platform on top of infrastructure so developers can build apps without managing servers. FaaS/serverless lets developers run individual functions. Only SaaS removes the need to write code or manage servers entirely.
