What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that makes it easy to deploy and scale web applications and services. You simply upload your code and Beanstalk automatically handles deployment, capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring. It supports applications developed in Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker. Beanstalk provides full control over AWS resources powering your application and allows you to take over some or all elements of your infrastructure. It integrates with CloudWatch for monitoring, supports blue-green deployments, and offers managed platform updates. Beanstalk is ideal for developers who want to focus on writing code without managing infrastructure.
