The big issue with ECS+Fargate is the lack of CPU bursting capability. This means that if you want to run a small service that doesn't consume much, you have two options: 1. Use a 0.25cpu + 0.5gb ram configuration and accept that your responses are now 4 times slower because the 25% time is strictly enforced. 2. Use a 1cpu + 2gb ram (costing 4 times more) even though it is very under-utilized. AWS is definitely in no rush to fix this, as they keep saying they are aware of the issue and "thinking about it". No commitment or solution on sight though: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/163 https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/163
