Comment on Modern cloud architecture on AWS: server fleets and databasesparent

Depending on the market segment you exist in, I'd recommend AWS Fargate and AWS Lightsail (container-runner; Digital Ocean/Linode/VPS competitor) over EC2. There's absolutely a segment for which EC2 is appropriate, but just like most data isn't "big", I doubt that most EC2 customers wouldn't be better served by Lightsail. If you've got several hundred or several thousand EC2 instances with bespoke code/config for many different ASGs, then Lightsail isn't for you, but (my impression is) that's not most people.
