Elastic Beanstalk

Deploy web and worker applications to production on AWS with full lifecycle management. Elastic Beanstalk is an application management service: the user provides application code, AWS manages everything underneath (deployment, scaling, patching, monitoring, health response).

When to Use

Elastic Beanstalk is the right choice when:

• User explicitly asks for Elastic Beanstalk, EB, or a managed application platform
• User says "don't want to manage servers", "managed patching", or "Heroku-like"
• User is migrating from Heroku, Render, or Railway
• User wants AWS to manage ongoing operational lifecycle (patching, scaling, health monitoring, rollback, deployments) after initial setup
• App is a web framework, API, or background worker on a standard runtime and the user signals low infrastructure involvement
