"Does what its name is - grows as you need it"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

AWS Beanstalk is named after the beanstalk of fairy tales that grows up to the clouds. It is an orchestration tool, specifically for AWS Services such as EC2, S3, and SNS, Cloudwatch, and Elastic Load Balancers. It basically adds an extra abstraction layer between the server and OS (operating system), which makes it easy to deploy and manage apps on AWS. This makes it easy to deploy and scale web applications and services.

Likes - you get snapshot application logs from EC2 instances (always handy) and you get email notifications through SNS for app health changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

It is free in that you only pay for the services that you used to run your application, such as S3. The negative is that cost is not fixed, so the number of EC2 instances, size of S3 bucket, etc., will affect what you end up paying for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing which is not good is that it is expensive and it also creates a ec2 instance and manages it with autoscaling which makes it expensive moreover its hard limit is limited to 4k, which is less for high production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
