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.

Suited: Sites using a server side scripting engine like PHP and will experience bandwidth spikes due to press releases or campaigns. The scalability will help in keeping the overall monthly costs down.

Not Suited: Sites that do not need a server side scripting engine. It would be less expensive and more efficient to use AWS Cloudfront.

Application health monitoring is well suited as I am very happy with its performance. I don't face a major challenge as of now; still struggling to learn a lot about the EBS feature.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is definitely the best when trying to build large applications. It has the flexibility to start out small and reduce costs, but then it can easily be scaled and parsed out so that it can handle countless users. I believe that Netflix even recently started using AWS as it's solution. The times when it is less appropriate is if you are wanting to create a very simple website, are not trying to grow your website, or are very inexperienced with software development. You don't need a power drill when a hammer will do.
