Is Elastic Beanstalk Worth

Elastic Beanstalk is a bad choice if you need worker processes. The whole point of a worker process is to perform a task in the background without slowing down your main web app. But Elastic Beanstalk doesn’t support this option in a scalable way.

Is Elastic Beanstalk better than EC2?

EC2 Container Service is Amazon’s managed replacement for running your own Mesos cluster. It’s a good solution if you’re running multiple applications, and simplifies management and billing. If you’re running a single application, unless you just like the Dockerized model, Beanstalk is a better option.

Does anyone use Elastic Beanstalk?

Recently, we used AWS Elastic Beanstalk to manage the web servers that power or SaaS projects. … Developers simply upload their application, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.”
