Elastic Beanstalk best practices

Web application deployment on Elastic Beanstalk ultimately uses AWS services such as EC2, ELB, ASG, SQS, S3, and many others. Points such as scalability, security, persistent storage, fault tolerance, content delivery, software updates and patching, and connectivity should be kept in mind when designing applications to deploy on AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

• Web applications should be as stateless as possible, fault tolerant, and loosely coupled to efficiently scale out and scale in as the end users request increases and reductions respectively.
• On AWS, security is a shared responsibility. AWS is responsible for providing as and when required physical resources to make the cloud a safe place to deploy our applications, and we as cloud users are responsible for the security of the data coming in and out of the Elastic Beanstalk environment and the security of the application.
