What is Elastic Beanstalk?
Elastic Beanstalk is an AWS service that is used to deploy web applications in the cloud. It supports multiple web application frameworks such as Python, Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, and Go. Once you deploy your application, Elastic Beanstalk manages the infrastructure in order to deploy, run, scale, and monitor applications.
Features of Elastic Beanstalk
Let’s take a look at the high-level features of Elastic Beanstalk:
- It supports monitoring and logging; hence, you can easily track how the application is behaving. For example, if an application goes down, you can check via Elastic Beanstalk.
- It manages updates for infrastructure. In some cases, your application should be updated with the latest improvements in Python or other libraries and Elastic Beanstalk manages the updates with you in control.
- It manages scaling features up and scaling features down; hence, if your application has too many requests, it adds more resources...
