I run 50+ smallish applications on AWS using Bitbucket Pipelines, Fargate, Aurora MySQL, S3, Cloudfront and a few other services. Most of the setup is scripted using very simple Cloudformation scripts. I estimate that I spend maybe 10% of my time on this and the rest of my time on ordinary dev/architecture tasks. Before Docker and AWS this would have taken me so much more time. The only drawback is that we have a hard time finding other developers in the company that want and have the time to learn the setup. It's not very complicated, but require some familiarity with the AWS ecosystem. It can seem daunting to someone who has to learn it from scratch.
