Accelerating Performance and Optimizing Costs with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Do you need help with sluggish web and mobile apps on AWS Elastic Beanstalk? Here is an exciting success story that might resonate with you! Recently, I had the opportunity to assist a customer-facing app performance issues and excessive EC2 provisioning.

Digging into Elastic Beanstalk’s diagnostics, I discovered a crucial bottleneck: CPU and memory utilization spiking to alarming levels, reaching up to 90% just before Auto Scaling invocation. The client was utilizing a containerized environment, adding another layer of complexity.

To tackle this challenge head-on, I dived into the logs available at eb-docker/container/eb-current-app. The investigation quickly revealed that specific APIs were not functioning optimally, hampering the overall app performance. Armed with this insight, we promptly implemented fixes for these troublesome APIs.

Processing these logs and corelating with the other key information can be challenging. We used python & boto3 to extract the key environment information and identify error patterns in the log.

The outcome was nothing short of remarkable! Once the API issues were resolved, the app’s performance drastically improved. The CPU and memory utilization stabilized, and the client could scale back their EC2 instances, resulting in substantial cost savings.

So, if you’re facing similar challenges with your AWS Elastic Beanstalk deployment, take heart! With the right expertise and careful monitoring, you can overcome performance bottlenecks and achieve optimal resource utilization.

Don’t let sluggish apps and unnecessary expenses hold you back. Harness the potential of AWS Elastic Beanstalk and experience the transformative impact it can have on your application’s performance and cost efficiency.
