Scaling is very simple and the User Interface gives excellent options to decide what is we look for and also customization on various levels. Its so nice with AWS interface and High availability, entirely managed service.

What I like most is the support having to deploy applications in different programming languages. Besides having different database handlers and additional tools like cron
