Simple tool to distribute application, perhaps too old by now

We use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for the deployment of some legacy applications. Upgrading the Environments (a PHP stack) results impossible for us because of many problems, then we decided to migrate to other modern solutions such as EKS.

Pros:

Easy versions management. Easy to deploy applications with a complete stack with Load Balancer and auto-scaling dimensioning

Cons:

Really unstable sometimes. We need to recreate completely the enviroments when it stucks on deploy problems. It starts up a lots of related services, such as Security Groups, Load Balancers and so on which can be really difficult to manage manually if you wanto to make some "clean up"

Pros:

It needed to host a NodeJs client to implement an AWS Amplify app without having access restrictions so Elastic Beanstalk came has a solution.

Maybe it could allow to connect a repository for automatic deployment. This will change a lot the way you have to build your app, nowadays you have to upload a zip.
