ECS/Fargate for long lived things. Lambdas for short lived things.

We used to do this at my current job, but we've recently started transitioning to Kubernetes. There are certainly things I like a lot about it (specifically, the k9s CLI), but I definitely miss the simplicity of ECS/Fargate.

+1 for Fargate and Lambda. If you do not like Fargate, you can also run containers in EC2 for a bit more control.

Nah, scaling will be hard. I came to realisation that I don’t want any clusters, let them manage it :)

That plus fleet of ec2 for real heavy loads.

Google App Engine https://cloud.google.com/appengine

Azure is really simple if you use dotnet. Just create an app and then click scale-out (or scale-up).

They of course support docker and k8 also. And Azure functions which are like lambda in AWS.

I really like Azure Container Apps for this. It's a great way to dip into the world of containers.
