Fargate is very expensive at scale. Great for small or bursty workloads, but when you’re at Figma scale, you almost always go EC2 for cost-effectiveness.

- ihkasfjdkabnsk 2y agothis isn't really true. It was very expensive when it was first released but now it's pretty cost competitive with EC2, especially when you consider easier scale down/up.
- Aeolun 2y agoI think when you are at Figma scale you should have learned to keep things simpler. At this point I don’t think the (slightly) lower costs of EC2 weigh up against the benefits of Fargate.
