"AWS Fargate: Embrace the Freedom of Serverless Container Computing"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

Fargate abstracts away the complexity of managing servers, clusters, and container orchestration platforms. You only need to define your containerized application's resources and requirements, and AWS takes care of the rest, including scaling, monitoring, and updates.With Fargate, you pay only for the resources your containers use while they are running. This granular billing model can be more cost-effective than traditional VM-based approaches, where you may need to pay for idle resources.Fargate supports both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), giving you the flexibility to choose the container orchestration platform that best suits your needs.AWS Fargate automatically scales your containerized applications based on demand, allowing you to handle varying workloads without manual intervention.Since AWS handles infrastructure management and scaling, your DevOps team can focus on application development and deployment rather than maintaining and updating underlying infrastructure.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

While the serverless nature of Fargate is a benefit for many users, it might be a drawback for those who require more control over the underlying infrastructure. With Fargate, you have less visibility into the server layer, which could be a concern for applications with specific hardware requirements or for users who prefer managing their infrastructure directly.While the serverless nature of Fargate is a benefit for many users, it might be a drawback for those who require more control over the underlying infrastructure.

"Save time with managed service i.e. Fargate"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

AWS fargate helps with its managed approach where not every single infrastructure need is to be defined and we get a simplified panel to start working with containers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

If we take into consideration pricing then it is something to be of concern paying for only run time sounds cost-effective but not only in fargate in many services of AWS that is something to be affected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective serverless solution for cloud"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

I have been using AWS Fargate for quite some time now, it gives a lot of freedom to have all applications running in serverless environment, where we don't have to manage the servers themselves and AWS does it for us. It's more secure and reliable aswell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

"AWS Fargate"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

As per my usecase most helpful is Serverless model, we don't need to manage or configure infrastructure, it improved development in application. Upsides are easy to use as admin or end user we just need to use console to manage or monitor AWS fargate.

Another upside is incredible server capacity it helps in scaling part as per user uses this applications.

Pay as you go model is very good as per it depends uses of services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

AWS fargate isn't user friendly. Deveops teams needed to deploy SAAS or microservices architecture.

Downsides of Fargate are cost monitors visibility is very less.

"Serverless computing at its best!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

Deploying applications without managing infrastructure management is a great advantage.Pay for what you use model is good. In other clouds, somewhat similar service is there but we prefer AWS as we have our production designed and running on AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

SSH etc. to debug isn't allowed using Fargate. Sometimes, we do get healthcheck issue and problems like 502 error are quite common while deploying new version of the application.

In starting, it took us some quite time to debug the challenges ivolved around EKS, ECS with Fargate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Serverless container management AWS Service"
5/5
What do you like best about AWS Fargate?

- Fully managed service in which we have to take care of the workload deployed not the infrastructure provisioning and maintenance.

- one thing I like the best is the cost of the Fargate service in which we have to pay for only what we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Fargate?

- Hard to identify the issues going on in the running container as fargate containers doesnt allow us to go inside the container.

- we have integrate cloudwatch deep monitoring in order to gain deeper insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
