The smallest fargate container in us-east-1 will cost you USD 13 per month if you never shut it down.

Avoid using a load balancer as they are quite pricey (although it will allow you to create and use auto-managed SSL certificates for free.)

Of course you will also pay for egress traffic.

The nicest part of Fargate is that:

* you can define your whole cluster using a docker-compose like format.

* you can manage your cluster using the ECS CLI. No extra tool needed.
