In our case, the cost savings were significant. More important, we have operational improvements: safer delivery of new features, comprehensive metrics, and comprehensive alerting.

Of course, there are many ways of achieving these goals. Kubernetes has great ways of doing the same with less vendor lock-in, but requiring more knowledge and care with the system components.

if you have run of the mill monolith deployed to Fargate that uses say RDS Postgres there is virtually no locking.

If you run “run of the mill” lambdas that use postgres, there is virtually no locking as well (every cloud provider has lambdas)
