It would be interesting to see a cost comparison of AWS Beanstalk PHP compared with running the same setup on a managed LAMP VPS with average specs (e.g. 2GB RAM, 100GB storage, and 1TB monthly transfer). I've seen these types of VPS setups priced around $100 or less per month.
- SJ80 15y agoA VPS is just a single box, while AWS is designed for scalability (they launch a load balancer for you and everything). It's basically the same as manually configuring EC2, EBS, ELB and AutoScaling to work together, except that the deployment is automatic and you can use Git. It does cost quite a bit more though. It might make sense for a company that needs to scale, but I think I'm going to stick with my VPS provider for my own sites.
