Overview

Product Information on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Updated 13th October 2025

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 Pricing

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a software that follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model where users are charged based on the underlying AWS resources such as compute, storage, and data transfer consumed by the software, with no additional charge for the use of the software itself or upfront fees.

The Service makes it easy to adopt cloud Service deployment as it provides full automation, patch management, logging, monitoring and easy deployment automation with minimal effort - if the required platform is supported.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.

Like

it was nice to have the reliability of aws gateway

Like

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

Dislike

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.

Dislike

support custom development for settings integration with dervices

Dislike

the cost can be tough for smaller developers
