Kunal Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
Quick automation has simplified my app deployments and has let me focus on data engineering
The overall experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk was excellent. The performance made deploying and managing my application very easy, and it was really smooth and efficient. The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly. I have given a rating of nine out of ten because auto scaling works reliably and it handles traffic spikes well with minimal manual effort needed. There is a balance between simplicity and control. I have not given a ten out of ten because sometimes the scaling decision can feel slightly delayed depending on the metrics. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, but not as advantageous or granular as ECS or EKS auto-scaling. Customization is good but not fully flexible for complex architectures.

It provides access to private and public clouds. I would like to be able to select the best private cloud.
I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost. If I need to put an application on the cloud, I would like to know which provider to use. I would like to know the best option for this application.

Cons

"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, however, it could be enhanced in areas where it abstracts infrastructure management, sometimes limiting advanced users who want granular control over resources like EC2 instances, networking, or load balancers."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly."
"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part. Tasks like creating load balancers and retiring versions require manual code updates, and URL changes can be time-consuming."
"We need improvements for more hybrid use. Right now, the system is very focused on pay-as-you-go cloud services, and our customers are looking for more a hybrid use."
"With a lot of the services we use, we need a single dashboard that could do more."
"I would like to be able to select the best private cloud to use in terms of service and cost."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be good as there is much competition, and many companies and organizations are looking to reduce costs."
"Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages."
