Elastic Beanstalk

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

There are two modes, and the choice determines every setting that follows. Standard runs the application on Amazon EC2; Cluster runs a container on a managed Amazon EKS Auto Mode cluster. See Choose the Mode.

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

Elastic Beanstalk is NOT the right choice when:

User explicitly wants serverless/Lambda — this imposes a different programming model (event-driven functions, stateless, cold starts, 15-min max execution) rather than just eliminating server management
User wants fine-grained container orchestration control (use ECS)
User already has Kubernetes expertise and wants direct K8s access (use EKS)
App is a static site or SPA (use Amplify Hosting for the frontend; deploy the backend API separately if present)
User already has ECS task definitions or Fargate configuration

Key Distinction

ECS and EKS are infrastructure management services: the user defines and operates the deployment infrastructure (task definitions, services, clusters, scaling policies) and owns ongoing operational decisions. Elastic Beanstalk is an application management service: the user provides source code or a Docker
