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."

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

"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)."

"The best thing about AWS Fargate is that I don't need to worry about the proper provisioning of infrastructure for my task, and it's very fast in terms of scaling my containers; it's much faster than other solutions."

"AWS Fargate has definitely impacted our organization positively because before that, we couldn't accommodate the workload requirements as flexibly as we can with Fargate."

"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 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."

"The product is stable."

"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."

"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."

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

"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."

"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."

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

"There could be improvements for AWS Fargate regarding cost as it is expensive compared to running on EC2."

"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."

"Service computing is not as straightforward compared to other computing services. It requires more effort to use effectively."

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

"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."

"They need to improve some UI-based interaction."

"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."

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

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

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

"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."

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

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

"Heroku should increase its slug size limits."

"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 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."

"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."

"The price of Heroku could be less expensive."
