AWS Elastic Beanstalk: First Impressions

I've been building my first app in AWS Elastic Beanstalk. There's a lot to like in this platform.

There's a learning curve when you setup the system, but once you're done everything seems to be working smoothly. Deployments are easy from command line and I haven't had any problems so far.

Here's the things that I like the most:

Easy to set up a separate web tier and a background worker tier
Possible to use your own custom server AMI (I needed some custom binaries for image processing)
Nice web based console for setting things up

I'm still learning and I'm probably not utilizing the full potential of Elastic Beanstalk.
