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.

Pros
  • Load Balancing
  • Scaling horizontally and vertically
  • setting up nodes of servers and creating a mechanism to redirect traffic
Cons
  • When the logic gets complicated and there are multiple nodes, the traffic redirection loses efficiency. Sometimes makes the server slower that how it was with one single node
  • Doesn't support some very basic node setup architectures
  • Doesn't support collaborations with other very famous softwares

Pros
  • It helps us to deploy several services of AWS in the cloud.
  • Out of the box security and privacy provided by AWS Elastic Beanstalk is unmatchable.
  • The user experience is super intuitive and helps a lot throughout the deployment process.
  • Reliability across different services is quite surprising.
Cons
  • It's very easy to get started with but very difficult to master, as the documentation is scattered across and the tutorials are dated. So one has to be well experienced in this in order to make the most out of the service.
  • Even though the user experience is good, it's backdated, it has an old UI system, which could be changed, and a modern, fresh look can be used.
  • While working with AWS Elastic Beanstalk, one has to be very attentive and scrutinise all the steps in order to miss out settings, which can lead to surprising billings (which is a very common phenomena.)

Pros
  • Getting a project set up using the console or CLI is easy compared to other [computing] platforms.
  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk supports a variety of programming languages so teams can experiment with different frameworks but still use the same compute platform for rapid prototyping.
  • Common application architectures can be referenced as patterns during project [setup].
  • Multiple environments can be deployed for an application giving more flexibility for experimentation.
Cons
  • Users may find it confusing if they need to switch from the dedicated CLI for AWS Elastic Beanstalk and the AWS CLI.
  • It would be useful to support paused or suspended environments for applications that don't need to be online 24x7. Dev and test environments would be benefit from this feature.
