AWS Elastic Beanstalk vs CloudBees: What are the differences?
What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk? Quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud. Once you upload your application, Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.
What is CloudBees? Enterprise Jenkins and DevOps. Enables organizations to build, test and deploy applications to production, utilizing continuous delivery practices. They are focused solely on Jenkins as a tool for continuous delivery both on-premises and in the cloud.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk and CloudBees can be categorized as "Platform as a Service" tools.
Some of the features offered by AWS Elastic Beanstalk are:
- Elastic Beanstalk is built using familiar software stacks such as the Apache HTTP Server for Node.js, PHP and Python, Passenger for Ruby, IIS 7.5 for .NET, and Apache Tomcat for Java
- There is no additional charge for Elastic Beanstalk - you pay only for the AWS resources needed to store and run your applications.
- Easy to begin – Elastic Beanstalk is a quick and simple way to deploy your application to AWS. You simply use the AWS Management Console, Git deployment, or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or Visual Studio to upload your application
On the other hand, CloudBees provides the following key features:
- Hosted CI/CD as a Service
- Flexible and governed software delivery automation
- Starter Kit
Accenture, Sellsuki, and Close are some of the popular companies that use AWS Elastic Beanstalk, whereas CloudBees is used by Netflix, Randstad, and Watchguard Technologies, Inc.. AWS Elastic Beanstalk has a broader approval, being mentioned in 374 company stacks & 118 developers stacks; compared to CloudBees, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
Platform.sh has great out-of-the-box support for PHP apps (especially Symfony, as it was made by the same people). Elastic Beanstalk does not have a lot of compelling PaaS features like Platform.sh. There, you have to install a lot of PHP extensions manually for example, while Platform.sh just handles it for you based on your config. Elastic Beanstalk also has terrible version updates (see link).
