For simpler projects, Elastic Beanstalk is also a pretty good option. It integrates nicely with auto-scaling, and any CI system can tie into the AWS CLI to dump a zip on S3, and then call Beanstalk "update-environment" to load that code onto an environment for a full CD pipeline. If you have a more polygot stack, or rely on other non-node systems like RabbitMQ or whatever, standardizing on Docker containers is a no brainer though.
