ALB

Application Load Balance

Automatically distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets using an Application Load Balancer.

I need Application Load Balancer (ALB) for SSL/HTTPS. ALBs are quite expensive for hobby projects and since I had two environments, I needed two. Later it became possible to share Application Load Balancer amongst multiple Elastic Beanstalk environments so only one was required. Before this, I dabbled with providing SSL with Let’s Encrypt so I would not need load balancers at all. Cost wise this was effective, but managing it turned out to be too work-intensive and would’ve required a complete rewrite to support Amazon Linux 2. So I was stuck with one ALB which would hog around 30% of operating costs.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud.
Pricing:
- Open Source
I’ve been using AWS Elastic Beanstalk for five years to host my hobby app. The application is dockerized and I have two environments: testing and production. I’ve been running it with t2.small instances since anything smaller cannot handle building Docker containers.
