AWS Fargate vs Heroku comparison

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

"AWS Fargate is an easy-to-use tool to simplify setup. You only pay for the resources you use. If you need to quickly create, delete, or scale applications without managing resources like EC2 instances, Fargate is the best service to use."

"By using a server's compute resources, one can observe the resource metrics. With AWS, one can determine when servers will be used based on CloudWatch results. For example, CloudWatch informs the application and service platform when the hit ratio has reached the threshold value."

"If you create your deployment with a good set of rules for how to scale in, you can just set it and forget it."

"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."

"All AWS services allow me to manage a wide range of applications and services."

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

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

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

"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."

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

"The product is stable."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"We faced challenges in vertically scaling our workload."

"We would like to see some improvement in the process documents that are provided with this product, particularly for auto-scaling and other configuration tools that are a bit complicated."

"I would like to see enhanced faster application scaling and better integration with the elastic file system to unify storage volumes and improve the launch time of instances."

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

"AWS Fargate needs improvement in terms of setup complexity."

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

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

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

"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."

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

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

"The tool's configuration is complex."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."
