You fixed the network. π
You secured the traffic. π‘οΈ
You locked down the secrets. π
You fixed the health checks.
Now, stop paying for idle containers.
Auto Scaling: the last piece of a production-ready ECS stack.
Config #5 π
#AWS#ECS#Fargate#DevOps#CloudOps
Most teams set a fixed number of tasks and call it a day. But running 2 tasks 24/7 means paying for capacity you don't use. Fargate charges per second. Every idle second is real money out of your pocket.
#AWS#ECS#Fargate#DevOps#FinOps
Fargate doesn't lie to you.
Your health check does.
Fix the logic β fix the uptime. One broken endpoint is enough to silently kill your service while your team sleeps.
Save this thread. Youβll need it at 3 AM.
#AWS#ECS#Fargate#DevOps#CloudComputing
Most teams use GET / as their health check.
Big mistake.
Your app can be broken and still return a 200 from /.
Fargate sees a 200 β thinks it's healthy β never restarts.
Meanwhile, your users get errors. Silently.
β Use /health. Always.
#AWS#ECS#Fargate#DevOps
Your ECS container is restarting every 30 seconds at
3 AMπ΄
Nobody is paging you.
Fargate is just quietly restarting it over and over.
The culprit 99% of the time? A bad health check.

ECS containers restarting at 3 AM? π΄ 99% of the time, itβs a bad Health Check. Donβt sweat it!
β GET /health β 200 OK β Interval: 30s | Threshold: 3 β NEVER use a heavy GET /
Fargate won't lie to you. Fix the check, get some sleep. βοΈ
#AWS#ECS#DevOps
Your container is running. But ECS has no idea if it's actually working.
No health check = broken tasks receiving live traffic. Tomorrow I'll show you how to fix it in 5 lines. π

Never let plain traffic reach your ECS tasks.
Many teams handle redirects in the app. That's the wrong layer.
Enforce HTTPS at the ALBβbefore it hits your code.

Honest take: stop over-engineering your cloud. βοΈ
Small team? A complex cluster is just noise.
ECS Fargate changed the game for us. Set it up, forget it, ship.
Less infra = more features in prod. π
#AWS#ECS#CloudOps#DevOps#Serverless#Cloud
The truth? You don't need Kubernetes. You just need containers that don't break at 3 AM.
That's why we use ECS Fargate:
β No server babysitting β Pay per use β Auto-scaling
Ship, don't manage. π
#AWS#ECS#DevOps
Modern cloud isnβt infrastructure. Itβs leverage. ποΈ

Pay per task. Scale on demand.
