No different than sorting through which libraries you need to use and the docs for those libraries... That's... That's the job.
All the major clouds are the same, though. You have to sift through a lot of marketing pages and docs to find what you want. It's still better than the old days of managing it all yourself.
To be clear, I am looking for a way to click through some setup stuff in a user management console then set some configurations and never have to manage anything again other than pushing to git. I don't even want to setup my own Dokku server, I already do that and while it's not hard, I don't like having to update it and maintain it about once a month.
Yes. I do this with a very small config file with BitBucket Pipelines. It's easy to set it up with GitHub Actions or any other CI/CD solution.
The core process is:
1. Build your code
2. Zip the build
3. Upload to S3
4. Tell Elastic Beanstalk to deploy the S3 file
The BitBucket Pipeline I'm using is already configured with the code to do this, so you just specify some build commands and branches.

That's exactly what I want(ed) and was able to achieve with Elastic Beanstalk + BitBucket Pipelines.
