# AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS X-Ray
Elastic Beanstalk

**Note**  
X-Ray SDK/Daemon Maintenance Notice – On February 25th, 2026, the AWS X-Ray SDKs/Daemon will enter maintenance mode, where AWS will limit X-Ray SDK and Daemon releases to address security issues only. For more information on the support timeline, see [X-Ray SDK and Daemon Support timeline](xray-sdk-daemon-timeline.md). We recommend to migrate to OpenTelemetry. For more information on migrating to OpenTelemetry, see [Migrating from X-Ray instrumentation to OpenTelemetry instrumentation ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-sdk-migration.html).

AWS Elastic Beanstalk platforms include the X-Ray daemon. You can [run the daemon](xray-daemon-beanstalk.md) by setting an option in the Elastic Beanstalk console or with a configuration file.

On the Java SE platform, you can use a Buildfile file to build your application with Maven or Gradle on-instance. The X-Ray SDK for Java and AWS SDK for Java are available from Maven, so you can deploy only your application code and build on-instance to avoid bundling and uploading all of your dependencies.

You can use Elastic Beanstalk environment properties to configure the X-Ray SDK. The method that Elastic Beanstalk uses to pass environment properties to your application varies by platform. Use the X-Ray SDK's environment variables or system properties depending on your platform.
