Stacktape vs. 
Elastic Beanstalk
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a PaaS platform that provides an easy way to deploy container-based applications to AWS. It also allows you to provision a relational database.
However, it does not seem to be actively developed and lacks a lot of features expected from a modern PaaS platform.
Stacktape is in many ways similar to Beanstalk, but supports more use-cases and provides much more seamless development experience.
