I&#x27;d say Elastic Beanstalk is the most direct &quot;competition&quot; because it his the same points:<p>* Simple<p>* Configures AWS resources uniformly run your app<p>* Uses Docker<p>Some advantages to using Convox instead of Elastic Beanstalk:<p>* More flexibility in the experience. Convox has a simpler API and CLI for end users.<p>* More flexibility in the infrastructure. We can pick and choose the best infrastructure components and constantly evolve.<p>* Less lock in. This is speculative but having a thin layer between you and AWS could help with portability.
