Beanstalk - similar to Heroku - it build is based on the zip file you upload.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/php-laravel-tutorial.html - automatically scales the application - basically perfect for small businesses. Warns you when the load is too high. But you just pay for the EC2 instance so it is slightly cheaper than Heroku - you also receive cloud alerts and warnings. With a bit of configuration you can also link it with github.
Heroku approach - £7-50 a month - more expensive but you can link it to your git commit. Heroku has free PostGres support but you will have to pay $10 a month extra to gain an add-on so that you can use mysql
