You can use a 12" outdoor Microlam , or a beam, comprised of 3, laminated 2x12s . With those,you're good with up to a 16 ft span between support posts. Plus you need to add diagonal bracing, from the posts up to the beam, and to the joists.
What are the dimensions of the deck? Length of joist from house to the railing?
