Choosing the Right Platform

AWS ECS Fargate

Best for: Teams already using AWS, serverless container deployments, auto-scaling workloads

• Fully managed container orchestration
• Pay-per-use pricing model
• Integrated with AWS services (RDS, S3, etc.)

GKE Autopilot

Best for: Google Cloud users, teams wanting managed Kubernetes without complexity

• Fully managed Kubernetes experience
• Automatic node provisioning and scaling
• Built-in security and compliance features

Pure Kubernetes

Best for: Multi-cloud deployments, existing Kubernetes expertise, maximum control

• Works with any Kubernetes cluster (EKS, AKS, on-premises)
• Full control over cluster configuration
• Portable across cloud providers

Common Deployment Patterns

Microservices Architecture

1. Parent Stack Setup - Configure shared infrastructure (databases, networking)
2. Service Templates - Define reusable service configurations
3. Environment Management - Deploy across dev/staging/prod environments
4. Secret Management - Secure handling of credentials and configuration

Multi-Tenant Applications

1. Resource Isolation - Namespace-based tenant separation
2. Shared Resources - Common databases and services
3. Scaling Strategies - Per-tenant and shared resource scaling
4. Monitoring & Logging - Tenant-aware observability

Next Steps
