I recently gave Fargate a try and was very unimpressed with the costs.
Anecdata is terrible, but my experience running 1 Fargate container 24x7 on the lowest specs (0.25 CPU and 512 MB RAM) to handle baseline was was going to cost as much as a no-contract T3.micro EC2 instance with much more capacity (2 CPU and 1 GB RAM). AWS Kubernetes was also a bust at $120/mo just to get started (that's the cost before an EC2 server is provisioned).
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoFargate has two flavors, ECS or EC2. EC2 is just EC2 with scaling groups while ECS is a fully non-managed solution that's for small items.
- JBReefer 8y agoThe ECS one is weirdly difficult to set up. If you just want Docker Repo (ECR) -> deploy with some config -> expose a single ingress point it sounds perfect, but I had a TON of trouble with it recently
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoECS is best done through Terraform, there's existing templates that will allow you to do this fairly easily.
- breckenedge 8y agoIf it helps, I had the exact same experience. Setup was possible but involved way too many decisions for the obvious use case.
