The Best Elastic Beanstalk Alternative

Get a PaaS that’s quick to setup and reliable with post-deployment monitoring and support.

Reliable deployment, easy configuration and the
best PaaS support on the market

Elastic Beanstalk doesn’t offer the proactive support Engine Yard does. With failed deployments being a common problem with Elastic Beanstalk, you’ll have to spend time troubleshooting in order to identify the root cause. With Engine Yard you get a dedicated team monitoring and supporting your deployment. All Engine Yard customers also benefit from 24×7 worldwide support that includes Linux, Ruby on Rails, and DBA staff that you can rely on to help manage your application.

Engine Yard is so much more than just a platform

Engine Yard has over 10 years of experience delivering true
24x7 enterprise-grade Ruby DevOps.

You don't get all that with Elastic Beanstalk.

Flexibility and Control
Even though Engine Yard manages all app deployments, EC2 instances and databases - you still have control over your app, with root access to your dedicated virtual machine and the ability to rename your hosted database (something Elastic Beanstalk does not allow you to do).
Backups and Management
At Engine Yard day to day operations and management of tasks such as performing backups, managing snapshots and clusters, administering databases and load balancing are all handled by our support team. Our team also makes sure all software components are scanned for vulnerabilities so you don't have to worry about your application’s security.
Documentation
With Engine Yard you get clear documentation, tutorials and steps on how to deploy your app. Our documentation includes dashboards, video tutorials and other visual aids. You won’t find this level of clarity and self-service with Elastic Beanstalk.

Michael Smith,

CTO, Canvas

ChannelEyes chose Engine Yard because we were looking for a reliable and scalable platform for a Rails-based social media platform. The support team has been highly responsive, and we've saved countless hours by relying on their technical expertise with deploying high-traffic Rails apps. With that time savings, our developers were able to focus on pushing the technical envelope with multi-layer security, a unique friending engine, as well as messaging.

Jay McBain,

Co-Founder and Chief Social Officer, Channeleyes

Engine Yard has helped us save hundreds of hours on infrastructure work and on deployments. For Ruby on Rails applications, it has been the best PaaS provider for years.

David Zumbrunnen,

Software Engineer, Oxon

We recommend Engine Yard Cloud to all of our clients, including Toyota Kenya, because we get huge time and cost savings. We would need another 5 people to manage infrastructure internally. Instead, we rely on Engine Yard, and we focus our developers on writing code which keeps them and our customers happy.
