AWS Elastic Beanstalk vs Ninefold: What are the differences?
Developers describe AWS Elastic Beanstalk as "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. On the other hand, Ninefold is detailed as "High Performance Australian Cloud Servers". Ninefold.com specialises in high performance, self managed, cloud based virtual servers for the Australian market including the Australian Federal Govt.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Ninefold belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.
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, Ninefold provides the following key features:
- Easy to use portal
- Awesome local support
- Production and Development servers
"Integrates with other aws services" is the primary reason why developers consider AWS Elastic Beanstalk over the competitors, whereas "High performance" was stated as the key factor in picking Ninefold.
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).
