Overall Satisfaction with AWS Elastic Beanstalk
We are currently using AWS Elastic Beanstalk to help us augment workloads when we have promotions or campaigns that require a variable amount of computing. This allows us to scale as needed with little or no interaction as we focus on the campaign orchestration to maximize our business processes.
- Affordable way to scale computing with little involvement
- Easy set up and ramp up
- Good toolbox for several platforms with flexibility
- Spinning up additional nodes can sometimes be slow based on your implementation
- Testing the scaling can be tricky
- Implementation of your code still needs to be solid or else you'll have some issues
- Allows us to scale existing solutions fairly quickly, but still requires some review before we can execute.
- Fairly straight forward and low maintenance once you get it up and running.
Azure currently doesn't have a solution that's similar to this but you can do a lot of the features with several of the components that Microsoft Azure offers. AWS Elastic Beanstalk exists in that niche market where if you have an existing solution, this is a great way to move & scale your solution.
