Hello kardangs009,
Thank you for reaching out.
The correct option leverages Spot Instances to process the SQS queue, which makes background video processing more cost‑effective since Spot pricing is significantly lower than On‑Demand. When combined with Fargate’s pay‑as‑you‑use model, this approach reduces both costs and operational burden more effectively than Elastic Beanstalk.
While Beanstalk does simplify EC2 management, it still runs on EC2 under the hood and does not mention Spot Instances for queue processing, which means it misses out on additional cost savings.
As for the suggestion about S3 website hosting, that works well for static sites, but this scenario involves dynamic video uploads and processing. Because of that, S3 hosting alone isn’t sufficient.
I suggest carefully reviewing the explanation provided and identifying any unclear parts so we can address the specific areas of confusion.
