Amazon has their own PaaS offering called Elastic Beanstalk, with support for running docker containers and other popular platforms. It's not complicated to set up and is customizable if you need to tweak things. Any idea how Flightcontrol compares to this?

We acquired a company that use EB and they have no dedicated DevOps engineer. It was bad because every deploy is a full VM boot which takes a long time and you can't do things you can do with Argo Rollouts. We migrated them to EKS.

I casually asked our account manager "Do you know any local customer with EB success story?" Their answer was "Do you want to be one?"

EB is buggy garbage. We switched to FlightControl to get a similar experience without the bugs and headache.
