AWS Fargate vs Heroku comparison

"By using a server's compute resources, one can observe the resource metrics. With AWS, one can determine when servers will be used based on CloudWatch results. For example, CloudWatch informs the application and service platform when the hit ratio has reached the threshold value."

"We appreciate the simple use of containers within this solution, it makes managing the containers quick and easy."

"If you create your deployment with a good set of rules for how to scale in, you can just set it and forget it."

"All AWS services allow me to manage a wide range of applications and services."

"AWS Fargate is an easy-to-use tool to simplify setup. You only pay for the resources you use. If you need to quickly create, delete, or scale applications without managing resources like EC2 instances, Fargate is the best service to use."

"AWS Fargate is a fully managed service, and it's very easy to use compared to other services like Elastic Beanstalk Service (EBS)."

"AWS Fargate automatically scales to meet demand, making it ideal for applications with variable workloads."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Fargate is its ease of use."

"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."

"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."

"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."

"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."

"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."

"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."

"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the auto maintenance of databases."

"There is a tool named Compose that helps in converting the Docker Compose file into a Kubernetes file. For ECS and Fargate, AWS reads a Dockerfile and helps with conversion. However, I am uncertain if it's ready for deployment after conversion."

"I would like to see the older dashboard instead of the newer version. I don't like the new dashboard."

"If there are any options to manage containers, that would be good. That relates more to the cost point. For example, over the next three months, I'll be making a comparison between solutions like CAST AI and other software-as-a-service platforms that offer Kubernetes management with an emphasis on cost reduction."

"As I have not worked with Fargate extensively, I do not have any specific improvements."

"We would like to see some improvement in the process documents that are provided with this product, particularly for auto-scaling and other configuration tools that are a bit complicated."

"I would like to see enhanced faster application scaling and better integration with the elastic file system to unify storage volumes and improve the launch time of instances."

"AWS Fargate needs improvement in terms of setup complexity."

"Sometimes, Fargate can be really hard to configure."

"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."

"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."

"The tool's configuration is complex."

"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."

"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."

"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."

"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."

"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."

"We would advise that this solution has a slightly-higher price point than others on the market. There is a free plan available for start-ups, but the free and lower range licensing models do not provide the full functionality."

"I rate the price of AWS Fargate a four out of five."

"Its price is very good."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"There is a standard fee for a processing unit, they call them "dynos," and then you pay for add-ons."

"The tool is free."
