After trying to set up Fargate and it only sending my logs to cloudwatch 25% of the time (Id deploy and get no logs, try again two to three times literally just clicking the button in the web console again and then it would work), if course AWS charged me for every . Two days and a $150 bill later I got fed up and moved to DigitalOcean App platform, where I fixed the issue (was a bug in my health checks) within ten minutes and a monthly bill of $10. That day I decided I will never again use AWS unless I can pay someone who really knows what they’re doing to do it for me (and I have a good reason to actually want to use AWS). My life has been much less stressful since.
