Product Details

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.

In some of the other companies that I've worked in, I've had the opportunity to work with the above softwares where the structure and architecture of the services was much complicated but the above softwares were able to handle it with more ease and efficiency. The complex logic part is taken care of beautifully by Google App Engine.

The AWS Elastic Beanstalk containerization capability is the best and effective Automatic scalling, high level security management and the platform itself is very easy on initial starting. The Application isolation from workloads and the ability on connecting the AWS Elastic Beanstalk to Cloud managed services is nice and easy on Cloud operations monitoring and Automation functions are impressive.

There are many services like AWS Elastic beanstalk, but there are none with the maturity in the platform or the cost-effectiveness of AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Also, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the oldest among them, so there are more people with AWS experience than the other platforms. The only thing is their documentation and UX are a bit old, which doesn't stop it from performing greatly, but yes, if you are looking for better UX, then you can check out other options.

I have used App Engine on Google Cloud Platform and App Service on Microsoft Azure. Both offer similar capabilities to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. App Engine has the nice ability to scale to 0 instances when the application has not been in use for some time. This allows for substantial cost savings for dev, test, and even infrequently used production environments compared to AWS Elastic Beanstalk where environments are expected to run 24x7 regardless of load[,] and stopping or pausing an environment can prove to be difficult. I've only been using App Service for a short period of time as of this writing and can't offer a deep comparison [...] to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. However, I do appreciate AWS Elastic Beanstalk's ease of use in most cases compared to my App Service experience so far.

The AWS platform provides a great deal of configurability that is abstracted and provided very well through AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This is the main reason for choosing Elastic Beanstalk over competing services. Another reason for selecting AWS Beanstalk was vendor compatibility, and the fact that our current infrastructure is running mostly on AWS services.
