I inherited a project on fly.io but before that I’ve used ECS as my primary platform. While ECS is kubernetes lite, fly is ECS but a little more dev friendly in the realm of not dealing with the complexities of IAM etc. It has other downfalls, but it’s the sweet spot for my early stage products right low…although i do expect I’ll end up on ECS if this is going well a year from now.

If the rest of your infra is on AWS(e.g., S3/RDS/Dynamo), why not just start with ECS? Egress fee's would seem to take a toll after a bit using Fly.io

Mostly just because it’s there already, and after getting familiar with it i really like how fast it is to get a project started. Ecs is great, but fly is 10x easier to deploy to.
