	AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Considered Both Products	Amazon AWS Partha Roy Lead Product Engineer in Engineering at Fasal - Grow More, Grow Better™ (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk There are many services like AWS Elastic beanstalk, but there are none with the maturity in the platform or the cost-effectiveness of AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Also, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the oldest among them, so there are more people with AWS experience than the other … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Jenkins Senior Systems Reliability Engineer in Corporate at The Walt Disney Company (Entertainment, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk I have used App Engine on Google Cloud Platform and App Service on Microsoft Azure. Both offer similar capabilities to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. App Engine has the nice ability to scale to 0 instances when the application has not been in use for some time. This allows for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk As it supports end to end flow of application deployment and not a part of any individual process like other AWS products, AWS Elastic Beanstalk can be a game changer in cloud industry. Incentivized Helpful? Ramindu Deshapriya Lead Consultant - Technology in Information Technology at Virtusa (Computer Software, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk The AWS platform provides a great deal of configurability that is abstracted and provided very well through AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This is the main reason for choosing Elastic Beanstalk over competing services. Another reason for selecting AWS Beanstalk was vendor … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk I selected AWS Elastic Beanstalk mainly because we have been using AWS services for our company. Using AWS Elastic Beanstalk is relatively easier than starting to use a completely new cloud platform. But we are also reviewing Google App Engine, and found out Elastic Beanstalk … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk AWS Elastic Beanstalk is equivalent to Google App Engine in terms of product. I selected AWS Elastic Beanstalk because it was within the stack we were using, and it made sense for us given the other architecture. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk I use both EB and Lambda for different use cases. I normally use AWS Lambda for my smaller software needs. Incentivized Helpful? Philip Cottray Public & Private Cloud Senior Business Technology Engineer in Finance and Accounting at Creditsafe (Information Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk We now default to Amazon ECS, due to flexibility this gives us with how workloads scale, and more network flexibility as many of our workloads are internal / external facing. We selected Elastic Beanstalk at beginning of our containerization phase, which suited our needs … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk 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 &… Incentivized Helpful? Richard Rout Software Developer in Information Technology at Blink Lending (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk We were already hosting on AWS so it just made sense to keep our infrastructure where we have it. And it all works pretty nicely. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk AWS is much more focused on scalability, but Heroku was much easier to get things up and running as a beginner. For simple hosting, I would stick to something like Heroku or Netlify. That said, Elastic Beanstalk is meant for more performant functions requiring large scaling and … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Dickson Director of Engineering in Engineering at NorthOut (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a great option for an organization that's already invested in the AWS ecosystem. The greater the number of complementary features needed by the application (e.g. integrating with Amazon's Elastic Load Balancer, databases, etc), the greater the reward … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk We also use Heroku and it is a great platform for smaller projects and light Node.js services, but we have found that in terms of cost, the Elastic Beanstalk option is more affordable for the projects that we undertake. The fact that it sits inside of the greater AWS Cloud … Incentivized Helpful? Brad Ranks Director of Technology in Information Technology at MeMD, Inc (Hospital & Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk We ended up with AWS Lambda to take workload off the developers and develop in tandem, then later integrate. We use both though. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk I enjoyed that Lightsail was so simple to provision and access via the in-browser SSH terminal, but ultimately Elastic Beanstalk is a more robust offering that interfaces seamlessly with more of AWS's other services. Elastic Beanstalk is also better equipped to automate … Incentivized Helpful? Jordan Leano IT Manager in Information Technology at Modus Operandi (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk I selected these solutions because they are the closest to being able to set up separate server or VM instances. As far as performance and scalability, Heroku does offer an autoscale option, but the base cost to have the autoscale in place, sets Heroku behind EBS. Digital … Incentivized Helpful? Sandeep Singh Consultant in Information Technology at HCL Technologies (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk We didn't use Lambda much till now. We, however, found better control of resources in EBS. Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Chaudhary Software Engineer in Information Technology at Capital One (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk Honestly, I haven't tried any other alternative products. As already mentioned, I am already heavily invested in AWS, so EBS was a natural choice for me. In other reviews, I have found, AWS is better than its competitors. There are more flavors, and options in AWS, better … Incentivized Helpful? Parikshith Malalur Jagadeesh Student in Engineering at Sjsu (Higher Education, 10,001+ employees) Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk Heroku is another similar product which we had tried out to deploy one of the NodeJs project and it has lot of developer friendly features as well. Though Heroku is more expensive than Beanstalk is what I found. Heroku also has some restrictions which can affect the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk The other main competitor that I have used would probably be Heroku. While Heroku is incredibly simple and easy to get a sample web app online, its dashboard and product connectivity didn't feel quite as seamless as AWS Elastic Beanstalk. AWS Elastic Beanstalk has a higher up … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AWS Elastic Beanstalk In some of the other companies that I've worked in, I've had the opportunity to work with the above softwares where the structure and architecture of the services was much complicated but the above softwares were able to handle it with more ease and efficiency.
