This really seems like it could be a future replacement for Elastic Beanstalk. Especially when they finalize the ability to provision storage infrastructure.

- polysaturate 6y agoThat’d be nice. It was a good concept but I really didn’t like how it handled some of the application commands with yaml files.
- judge2020 6y agoHopefully. Elastic Beanstalk is a product that "works" and is "maintained", but when it fails it crashes hard. At least for the PHP environment, updating the environment variable configuration can take 2+ minutes, and non-immutable app deployments with 2 hosts can take over 10 minutes to pass health checks. And finally, if it fails to do something (eg. a deploy command fails on the instance), it will be stuck in the "error" state for 5-15 minutes where you can't do anything to the environment and must wait for it to clear to fix your bad deploy.
- judge2020 6y agoI should clarify that the app deploy itself can take under 5 minutes if non-immutable; immutable deployments are the ones that can take 15 minutes or more.
- freeqaz 6y agoAmen I thought I was just doing something wrong! What is the best alternative to Elastic Beanstalk on AWS? Is Kubernetes overkill?
