what is a web application?
Software accessible through HTTP
Bundled in a single file containing the code and the resources needed
Different "flavours" depending on the programing language
Runs on an web application platform which provides an API on top of HTTP

you created a fantastic webapp

…now deploy it

suddenly, you have to deal with infrastructure
and sysadmins…

you have to think of:
how do I pick the right server size?
is the infrastructure reliable?
does it scale?
how to avoid SPOFs?
what about security?

once it's deployed:
what about … maintenance?
monitoring?
log analysis?
test environments?
new releases?

Easily manage and deploy web applications in the cloud

Amazon EC2

How do I create a web app for AWS Elastic Beanstalk ?

like any other Java web app!

no specific API

no specific API
no specific server

deploy your java apps from Eclipse

multiple environments

How do I manage my web app?

Where is the data?

works with any data store

remember this?

clone the production

complete tests

What about elasticity?

remember your great app?

everyone wants to use it!

what about enterprise web apps?
more predictable patterns

25% Savings
during the day

50% Savings
during the year

Elasticity is a fundamental property of the cloud that drives many of its economic benefits

without elasticityyour app can't accelerate

what we really need is…
…adjustable capacity

with AWS Elastic Beanstalk
it's automatic!

let's see how it works…

How do I enhance reliability?

what happens if an instance crashes?

store session data in a database
Use Tomcat JDBC Session Store persistence

store session data in a database
Use Tomcat JDBC Session Store persistence
+ transparent read-replicas

store session data in a memcached pool
Using memcached session manager for Tomcat

What makes AWS Elastic Beanstalk different?

root access to EC2 instances

use any database

create custom AMIs
Tomcat + different JDK / native libraries, etc.

no lock-in
Users can access underlying AWS components created by AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Why not use my own Tomcat deployment?

automated version deployment
including rollback

manage all configuration changes in one place

built-in monitoring and notification
Application health and other important events

log file rotation on Amazon S3

FREE!
no additional charge
pay only for the AWS resources used

elastic capacity

faster time to market

pay for what you use

automated

focus on your application

leave the muck of infrastructure management to AWS

The value is in your app not in the platform
value is here
not here

Thank you!
