Configuring custom start commands with a Procfile on Elastic Beanstalk

You can include a file that's called Procfile at the root of your source bundle to specify the command that starts your application.

Example Procfile

web: node index.js

For information about Procfile usage see Buildfile and Procfile.

Note

This feature replaces the legacy NodeCommand option in the aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs namespace.
