Dev and Devops Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple tool to distribute application, perhaps too old by now" May 20, 2022 3.0 We use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for the deployment of some legacy applications. Upgrading the Environments (a PHP stack) results impossible for us because of many problems, then we decided to migrate to other modern solutions such as EKS. Pros Easy versions management. Easy to deploy applications with a complete stack with Load Balancer and auto-scaling dimensioning Cons Really unstable sometimes. We need to recreate completely the enviroments when it stucks on deploy problems. It starts up a lots of related services, such as Security Groups, Load Balancers and so on which can be really difficult to manage manually if you wanto to make some "clean up" Review Source SB Swaibu B.

This reduces the time and effort required to deploy and manage applications, allowing me to focus on writing code and building great experiences for my users.
