I don't understand why people always recommend ECS over EKS for smaller shops. EKS is kind of creaky, but we haven't really had any major problems with it, and the tooling around the k8s ecosystem is sooooo much bigger and better in terms of developer experience. We felt like we were constantly reinventing the wheel with ECS, and while I fully acknowledge that there's both less surface area and blast radius for things to go wrong with ECS, I'm not sure it's THAT much more stable. ECS is pretty half-baked too. Almost all of my problems are with EKS specifically, and if we compare ECS to GKE, I think the argument is even less strong.
