Throwing this out there since it hasn't been mentioned yet but AWS's copilot tool (https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/) has been really nice for setting up an ECS cluster with a good build pipeline that we use in almost the same way as we use Heroku. It's definitely more mental overhead than Heroku but it offers more flexibility and tying directly to your AWS account. After setup it has been maintenance free for over a year but debugging parts of the build pipeline were painful at first. It recently started supporting AppRunner now that AppRunner can access VPCs so I'm looking forward to trying that at some point too.
