Internally do they use ECS?

(I used to work at aws)

yes! specifically, quite a number of teams use fargate and its one of the 2-3 "obvious" ways to build services.

Thanks!

We've been running on ECS for 6 years now (basically within a few months of GA). When EKS launched we talked about maybe migrating over but ECS just feels more first class wrt cloudformation and stuff. It makes sense that internal teams rely on it.

Literally everything is a Lambda nowadays it seems, so it seems like it's just Lambda -> ECS -> -> -> raw EC2 unless you're building directly on bare metal.

Yeah, it really depends on where your service falls on the dependency chain.

Services that Lambda depend on are heavily encouraged to use lower level options etc...
