> One of my former co-workers went to a K8S shop, and longs for the simplicity of ECS.

I was using K8s previously, and I’m currently using ECS in my current team, and I hate it. I would _much _ rather have K8s back. The UX is all over the place, none of my normal tooling works, deployment configs are so much worse than the K8s equivalent.

I think like a lot of things, once you’re used to having the knobs of k8s and its DX, you’ll want them always. But a lot of teams adopt k8s because they need a containerized service in AWS, and have no real opinions about how, and in those cases ECS is almost always easier (even with all its quirks).

(And it’s free, if you don’t mind the mild lock-in).
