Ughhh this.

I just want to give my project to a PaaS and let them figure out everything.

I was looking into Google App Engine, but they didn't support some language features I wanted (e.g. Java 1.8, Servlet 3.X["I know, programming in Java? You're stuck in the past"]). So I looked into their new Container Engine. But like this article points out, it makes deployment 500000000 times more complicated than it should be.

Isn't Elastic Beanstalk what you need? I've never used it, but they support Java 8 and Servlet 3.

How about:

?

Java 1.8 and Tomcat 8.0.x, so Servlet 3.1. On a good day, deployment is one command which just does its thing.

It's not without its quirks, but in my experience they're fairly minor.
