I use fargate and pretty happy with it. Don't need big scale out - it supports $1M/year revenue so not huge, but LOVE the simplicity.

I just have the CLI commands in my dockerfiles as comments, so once I get things sorted locally using docker I update the task with some copy / paste. I only update occasionally when I need to make some changes (locally do a lot more).

The one thing I'd love to get my DOCKER image sizes down - they seem way too big for what they do but it's just easier to start with full fat images. I tried alpine images and couldn't get stuff to install / compile etc.

You should look into multistage docker builds, that lets you still use a full fat image for your build but then leave all the build tools out of your final image

I liked jpetazzo's post on the subject but there are plenty to choose from https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2020/02/docker-images-part1-r...

Someone else suggested the same thing actually. Easy to get lazy when it "just works" and internet is 1gig home and office - you can see how bloat just builds up.
