AWS Fargate vs Heroku comparison

"I like their containerization service. You can use Docker or something similar and deploy quickly without the know-how related to, for example, Kubernetes. If you use AKS or Kubernetes, then you have to have the know-how. But for Fargate, you don't need to have the know-how there. You just deploy the container or the image, and then you have the container, and you can use it as AWS takes care of the rest. This makes it easier for those getting started or if you don't have a strong DevOps team inside your organization."

"Fargate is beneficial for hosting our solutions and providing workflow management, creating legal documents, and delivering business intelligence."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Fargate is its ease of use."

"AWS Fargate automatically scales to meet demand, making it ideal for applications with variable workloads."

"We appreciate the simple use of containers within this solution, it makes managing the containers quick and easy."

"AWS Fargate has many valuable services. It does the job with minimal trouble. It's very observable. You can see what's going on and you have logs. You have everything. You can troubleshoot it. It's affordable and it's flexible."

"Fargate's integration with other AWS services is really good."

"The most valuable feature of Fargate is that it's self-managed. You don't have to configure your own clusters or deploy any Kubernetes clusters. This simplifies the initial deployment and scaling process."

"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."

"The product is stable."

"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."

"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."

"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."

"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."

"AWS Fargate could improve the privileged mode containers. We had some problems and they were not able to run."

"Sometimes, Fargate can be really hard to configure."

"There are features that could be added or enhanced."

"Challenges include higher costs for smaller clients, limited control over underlying infrastructure customization, and potential latencies during task startup."

"There is a tool named Compose that helps in converting the Docker Compose file into a Kubernetes file. For ECS and Fargate, AWS reads a Dockerfile and helps with conversion. However, I am uncertain if it's ready for deployment after conversion."

"AWS Fargate's security features weren't the most important criteria or value we got from AWS Fargate."

"If there are any options to manage containers, that would be good. That relates more to the cost point. For example, over the next three months, I'll be making a comparison between solutions like CAST AI and other software-as-a-service platforms that offer Kubernetes management with an emphasis on cost reduction."

"Service computing is not as straightforward compared to other computing services. It requires more effort to use effectively."

"The pricing could be improved because scaling the database becomes costly."

"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."

"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do."

"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."

"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."

"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."

"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."

"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."

"I rate the price of AWS Fargate a four out of five."

"We would advise that this solution has a slightly-higher price point than others on the market. There is a free plan available for start-ups, but the free and lower range licensing models do not provide the full functionality."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"Its price is very good."

"The tool is free."

"There is a standard fee for a processing unit, they call them "dynos," and then you pay for add-ons."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
