What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the platform-as-a-service offering provided by Amazon and designed to leverage AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is designed for deploying and scaling web applications and services developed with Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker on familiar servers such as Apache, Nginx, Passenger, and IIS.
Developers can simply upload their code and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment, from capacity provisioning, load balancing, and auto-scaling to application health monitoring. At the same time, users retain full control over the AWS resources powering their application and can access the underlying resources at any time.
There is no additional charge for Elastic Beanstalk - pay only for the AWS resources needed to store and run applications.

Scalable EBS
We primarily use AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EBS) for client production websites. The EBS is set up to autoscale, so it works well for when our client's site traffic spikes. Additionally, our development team uses the Atlassian Bamboo to build and deploy to EBS.
- Scalability: The ability to autoscale based on traffic helps with availability and overall cost.
- Amazon RDS: The RDS can be set up as a part of the EBS configuration or separately. This process to connect a separate RDS or external DB can be challenging, mainly due to security groups and permissions.
- Application Bundle: When updating an EBS, an application bundle needs to be created. The application bundle is a ZIP file of the entire website. This would be bothersome if you only need to change one code file. But if this file is part of a website that was built on a multi-file/folder framework, you will be required to zip the entire site and push the zip file to an an S3 bucket for deployment. Single file updates are not possible.
We used AWS Beanstalk for our Global Client in Telecom Domain. In our customer environment Elastic Beanstalk,(hereafter EB) we can quickly deploy and manage Customer applications in the AWS Cloud without sizing of the infrastructure that runs those applications. AWS EB reduces management complexity without restricting choice or control. We simply upload customer application, and EB will automatically handle the details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and application health monitoring.
- load balancing,
- monitoring
- dynamic capacity provision
- need to create some easy step to deploy the BS in production environment. where data and application are mission critcical

AWS Elastic Beanstalk
It is the main tool that we to deploy our website. We host our main back-end server as well as host our database. In addition, I have deployed many personal applications on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It's incredibly easy to deploy, build, and scale, and I plan to use it for all my future projects. The speed and reliability are top notch and I would recommend it over a product such as Heroku.
- Easy to deploy. It's incredibly easy to build a war file and deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk. It's painless to iterate on our product in this aspect.
- Easy to scale. It takes only a short amount of time to do any upgrades to a server. The longest part is to back everything up, but it has only been a safety feature and never actually needed.
- Easy to monitor. We are able to track performance with a simple dashboard and message/email alerts if an alarm is ever triggered.
- How to more easily integrate with other other AWS services. There are plenty out there, but it's not quite as seamless as I feel like it should be to mix and match products.
- Make backing up easier when scaling the server. It took quite a bit of time to make sure we had everything set up in case something went wrong.
- When you are first starting to use AWS, the dashboard can be very intimidating. There are countless products all with names that aren't very indicative of what they actually do.
