Fargate vs. Non-Fargate: Choosing the Right Container Orchestration Strategy for Your Needs In the age of cloud computing, containers have become the go-to solution for deploying and scaling applications. And when it comes to container orchestration on AWS, the two main options are Fargate and non-Fargate (which typically involves Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon ECS). But which one is right for you? What is Fargate? Fargate is a serverless compute engine for Amazon ECS that allows you to run containers without having to provision or manage underlying EC2 instances.

AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Run are both serverless computing platforms that allow you to run code without provisioning or managing servers. However, there are some key differences between the two platforms: Supported languages: AWS Lambda supports a wide range of programming languages including Node.js, Java, Python, Go, Ruby, and C#. Cloud Run supports Docker images, which can be written in any language. Cold start: When a Lambda function is first invoked, it takes a few milliseconds to start up.
