I just use fargate directly (ECS I guess) - it works pretty nicely for small apps.

I was reading someone wanted EKS but the $180/month for management layer was way too much. Do people use EKS for tiny projects? It seems like a lot of complexity to carry around.

For just to be future-proof, you can install proper K8s on a single node, then scale out. To those who knows K8s inside out, to set up such K8s for a hobby project takes about 5-10 minutes, so not a huge investment of time.
