What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a software solution that enables developers to deploy and manage web applications and services. It automates tasks such as environment provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and monitoring, allowing users to focus on application development rather than infrastructure management. The software supports a variety of programming languages and frameworks, providing integration with platforms such as Java, Python, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, and Go. It addresses the business problem of operational overhead associated with deploying scalable web applications, streamlining configuration and orchestration of required resources while providing options for customization and control over the application environment.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Likes & Dislikes

Easy deployment automation (rolling, blue/green, ..) - even for windows applications. Rollback capabilities and deployment versioning are also a must for enterprises. The rolling OS and platform update capabilities are also very good.

it was nice to have the reliability of aws gateway

ease of use easy to deploy different types of apps ( ruby on rails and golang) easy to use other aws products with this service

The platform and language support is limited and very much constrained. The service puts certain default guardrails in place, which are not necessarily secure. The default capability to also manage RDS has its flaws, which is why most recommend to manage that OOB.

support custom development for settings integration with dervices

the cost can be tough for smaller developers
