tfenv VS elastic-beanstalk-roadmap

You'll need the correct version of Terraform (the version of Terraform used for apply can be found in terraform_version at the beginning of the .tfstate file), to switch between versions I recommend tfenv.

For almost four years I'd been using a Macbook as my main work machine. One quality of life tool I'd gotten used to was tfenv, a lovely little tool for managing terraform versions & quickly switching between them.

For example terraform state files often have non backwards compatible changes. You should consider using something like tfenv so everyone on your team has identical versions of terraform.

I'm using the tool tfenv to manage Terraform versions. Other tools can do that. You can use asdf, too. I saw that asdf can do more than manage Terraform versions.

Documentacion TFENV

git clone https://github.com/tfutils/tfenv.git ~/.tfenv export PATH="$HOME/.tfenv/bin:$PATH" # install to appropriate shell startup file, e.g. $HOME/.bashrc echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.tfenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile

Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:

1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku

2) https://render.com

3) https://fly.io

4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk

above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

Elastic Beanstalk (EB) is a cloud deployment service provided by Amazon Web Services. It facilitates the deployment and scaling of web applications and services by automating the creation of individual infrastructure components, including EC2 instances, auto-scaling, ELBs, security groups, and other infrastructure components. Using the AWS Management Console and command-line interface, deployment with EB is quick and simple. Although EB automatically handles your application’s deployment, the developer retains complete control of the AWS resources that run the application and may access them at any time. This is important, and it is a top benefit of using this service.

This Terraform code snippet can be used to deploy an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment:

K8s isn't going to play well with your deployment pattern without some advanced cluster management. Honestly it seems like you would be better serviced with something like https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/ .

If your project is a bit more complicated using next.js or react.js or angular.js, you may find some free Platfrom-as-a-Service%20is%20a%20complete%20cloud%20environment,middleware%2C%20tools%2C%20and%20more.). I have seen some of my peers using free PaaS like Heroku, Vercel and I have no experience in using PaaS but I will recommend you to use PaaS from either of the three 1. Google Cloud's Google App Engine 2. Microsoft Azure's Azure App Service or 3. Amazon Web Service AWS Elastic BeanStalk

According to the official documentation, Elastic Beanstalk is a service that allows users to upload and deploy web applications in a simplified way.
