Load balancing/app platform/AWS Elastic Beanstalk

[Jamie Edwards]

Hi all

Has anyone had much experience (or success) using an application platform to run Xenforo, like AWS Elastic Beanstalk or Heroku?

I'll let you know, I'm currently moving a (previously) vB4 site to AWS and plan to set it up for the best scaling structure, which I guess is the elastic beanstalk. What a name!

Used the importer yesterday (flawless, quick) and now running XF 1.2.x.

I too am anxious to know if anyone else out there is using Elastic Beanstalk and has any input / review...

Just wondering how this worked out?

I use the AWS setup including all its services and it works great:

Route53
Cloudfront
ELB
S3
EBS
EC2
Opsworks
Elasticache
RDS
SQS
SNS
Lambda
Elasticsearch

Its nice to have additional information by using:

Config
Cloudtrail
Cloudwatch


It takes some time to understand these resources and set them up.

For just running a forum I guess it is much easier to tell a webhoster: "give me a webserver with php nginx mysql, add the xenforo nginx.conf settings and tell me the passwords for the database."
