    If you need to deploy Docker containers, Amazon Fargate is a very good fit. It integrates very well with other AWS services like RDS, EFS, and Secrets manager. You can have a very robust application using those services. In case you have many containers to deploy, it is however more expensive
    that if you use other services like ECS or EKS, since they allow you to
    share the same infrastructure to deploy multiple containers.

    It would be a good solution for running serverless applications. Because infrastructure setup and maintenance expenses can be avoided, the investment will pay for itself. The time to value is short, allowing IT to respond to business demands quickly. It aided us in customizing security as well as operating a personal project using to autoscale up and down approach. Also, because there isn't much hassle, items can be pushed into production as soon as possible. Simply push a container, create an application, and you're ready to go. But, It is less suited when you have a static machine or need to keep data in some way and do not want to utilize network storage or a database.

    • the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
    • sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
    • uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

    It's a very practical service to use. If you need to deploy any application with a Database, disk storage, you're pretty much set.
    Everything around that can be taken care of using other AWS services. Like secrets manager, certificate manager, RDS ...
    And the CI/CD part is also very easy to setup, you only need on AWS CLI command to trigger a deployment, and done !

    Consumers can purchase individual components as well as unlocking new bundles with special features and services including the extensive data management governance capabilities of the Automation range. Kubernetes containerizing for effective service implementation and an agile, flexible multi-cloud data program help both utilization expansion and deployment to be improved by this architecture.

    AWS provides different support tiers. They are usually very reactive and are able to help solve the issues very quickly.
    As for everything, the higher the support tier you get, the better and faster support you get.
    If you're also a part of big company, you probably have solution architects at your disposal to help you with any inqueries.

    What impresses me most about IBM Cloud Code Engine is the container workload management capability and the Cloud services and dataflow monitoring functionalities. Data security and network security control via IBM Cloud Code Engine is quite excellent and very responsive data integration functions and the first deployment is not very technical.

    Amazon AWS
    Pricing and billing of AWS Fargate is loosely tied to your exisiting AWS billing. You're unlikely to only use Fargate in your AWS subscription, so you get billed for everything alltoghter.
    Fargate is naturally a bit more expensive that usuel docker services, but with careful planning and architecturing, you can have a very manageable cost.
    You can also rely on Saving plans to reduce your bill.

    • easier to optimize our computer costs
    • transition from server to serverless was easier once we decided to adopt Fargate

    • [One] positive is that we have one tool to learn (and a simple one) for all kinds of deployment. We need less people to maintain the system.
    • We have saved a lot of time on trouble shooting. It's clear how it works. It's "just" kubernetes..
