Pros & Cons
Pros
Leverages AWS Elastic Beanstalk's managed services for load balancing and autoscaling, as highlighted in the README, reducing infrastructure management overhead.
Ensures continuous availability during updates, a key feature that simplifies production deployments for Meteor apps.
Integrates seamlessly with Meteor's settings.json for environment configuration, making it easy to handle app settings in AWS.
Automatically uses the correct Node.js version for compatibility, preventing version mismatch issues common in deployments.
Cons
Ties deployments specifically to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, limiting flexibility if you want to migrate to other cloud providers.
Only works with Meteor Up, so if your deployment strategy changes or you stop using Meteor, this plugin becomes obsolete.
Requires configuration of both Meteor Up and AWS services, which can be daunting for developers new to either tool.
