Any plans to reduce the minimum bill time for Fargate to accommodate short tasks?

With 1 minute minimum billing you have to turn to lambda for very short tasks or have a long running Fargate consuming tasks from some message bus.

If you choose lambda, your containers don’t work so you need to rebuild your runtime with lambda layers or ebs or squeeze into the lambda env.

If you choose messaging, say SQS from a lambda called by API gateway you’ve complicated your architecture and your Fargate instance is potentially hanging out billing, idle, and waiting for messages.

Fargate spot removed the last reason to consider AWS Batch. Short tasks could largely replace lambda.

It would be nice to Fargate all the things.
