The fact that you are considering Beanstalk leads me to believe you have some timely gaps in your AWS knowledge.

With many hundreds of services every single person has gaps in AWS knowledge.

Strange names also help hiding the semi-duplicate products.

I can get a website up in around a minute with aws amplify.

No-one uses Elastic Beanstalk -- use ECS instead. With ECS Copilot you can do it in 1/2 commands.

I thought Beanstalk was decent for Docker before they had EKS and (whatever the new thing is called) though.

Kind of agree on that, but I almost feel the opposite with AWS Lambda vs Azure Functions... The advantage of functions, is of course direct access options over http.

It is amusing that the replies/suggestions to your post recommend multiple different AWS solutions instead of Beanstalk. Definitely confirms the problem of AWS having a confusing amount of overlapping products
