Overall Satisfaction with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

We use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to host a custom API validation service for our business. It interfaces with multiple vendor cloud systems to utilize their unique APIs to validate customer information. It was more economical to develop a single connection point from our cloud ERP system to this validation service in AWS Elastic Beanstalk than to have our ERP connect to the different vendors. We don't have to worry about operating system overhead with this service, and our developers can simply maintain the code changes via Git.
  • Abstract the operating system
  • Availability and Uptime
  • Ease of deployment
  • I would like to see an easier way to backup
  • It allows us to run our own custom API without the overhead of an operating system.
  • We can upload our code to a GIT repository and then transition it to Beanstalk very quickly.
