AWS Fargate vs Heroku comparison

"It allows for focusing on applications instead of managing infrastructure."

"Fargate is beneficial for hosting our solutions and providing workflow management, creating legal documents, and delivering business intelligence."

"The most valuable feature of Fargate is that it's self-managed. You don't have to configure your own clusters or deploy any Kubernetes clusters. This simplifies the initial deployment and scaling process."

"I like their containerization service. You can use Docker or something similar and deploy quickly without the know-how related to, for example, Kubernetes. If you use AKS or Kubernetes, then you have to have the know-how. But for Fargate, you don't need to have the know-how there. You just deploy the container or the image, and then you have the container, and you can use it as AWS takes care of the rest. This makes it easier for those getting started or if you don't have a strong DevOps team inside your organization."

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

"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 has many valuable services. It does the job with minimal trouble. It's very observable. You can see what's going on and you have logs. You have everything. You can troubleshoot it. It's affordable and it's flexible."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."

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

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

"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."

"Challenges include higher costs for smaller clients, limited control over underlying infrastructure customization, and potential latencies during task startup."

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

"There are features that could be added or enhanced."

"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."

"I heard from my team that it's not easy to predict the cost. That is the only issue we have with AWS Fargate, but I think that's acceptable. AWS Fargate isn't user-friendly. Anything related to Software as a Service or microservice architecture is not easy to implement. You're required to have DevOps from your side to implement the solution. AWS Fargate is just a temporary solution for us. When we grow to a certain level, we may use AKS for better control."

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

"The main area for improvement is the cost, which could be lowered to be more competitive with other major cloud providers."

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

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

"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."

"The pricing could be improved because scaling the database becomes costly."

"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."

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

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

"The tool's configuration is complex."

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

"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 tool's pricing a three out of ten."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."

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

"The tool is free."

"Its price is very good."
