Why Elastic Beanstalk?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk enables customers to easily migrate, deploy, and scale full-stack applications. It manages application and infrastructure operations, letting developers focus on business logic.

Use cases

Many large enterprises need to migrate their existing monolithic applications such as .NET applications, Java applications, or PHP web services, from on-premises data centers or competitor platforms to the cloud without breaking apart or re-architecting their code. AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides a straightforward "lift and shift" path for these traditional applications, offering wide instance type support and customization options to integrate with other AWS services. This allows companies to move their existing code bases quickly while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems and gaining cloud benefits like auto-scaling and managed platform updates.

Organizations running individual containers need simple deployment and management without complex container orchestration. AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides teams with the ability to run Docker containers on EC2 instances with built-in scaling and infrastructure management. This allows different teams to deploy and manage their containerized applications independently without infrastructure expertise or operational overhead.

Organizations new to AWS need a simple way to deploy and run their applications without deep cloud expertise. AWS Elastic Beanstalk enables these customers to deploy applications by simply uploading their code, while the service automatically handles infrastructure provisioning, capacity scaling, load balancing, and health monitoring. It also manages platform updates and patching, allowing businesses to focus on their application code rather than infrastructure management.
