AWS Fargate vs. IBM Cloud Internet Services

If you need to deploy Docker containers, Amazon Fargate is a very good fit. It integrates very well with other AWS services like RDS, EFS, and Secrets manager. You can have a very robust application using those services. In case you have many containers to deploy, it is however more expensive
that if you use other services like ECS or EKS, since they allow you to
share the same infrastructure to deploy multiple containers.

In terms of business challenges, it simplifies the job of my engineers and significantly increases the productivity of my teams when they collaborate with IBM teams all over the world. Now that we have completed a proof-of-concept using the services supplied by IBM, we expect it to assist us in managing them more efficiently; thus far, management has been straightforward.

• Request proxying is done by way of DNS name resolution, which is inflexible.
• Proxy services do not work on wildcard DNS entries.

It's a very practical service to use. If you need to deploy any application with a Database, disk storage, you're pretty much set.

Everything around that can be taken care of using other AWS services. Like secrets manager, certificate manager, RDS ...

And the CI/CD part is also very easy to setup, you only need on AWS CLI command to trigger a deployment, and done !

AWS provides different support tiers. They are usually very reactive and are able to help solve the issues very quickly.

As for everything, the higher the support tier you get, the better and faster support you get.

If you're also a part of big company, you probably have solution architects at your disposal to help you with any inqueries.

I have used Salesforce to explore it as an app but I have found them both able to solve my needs and requirements when it comes to security. While I choose IBM Cloud Internet Services for more accessibility, a better price was available with Saleforce. Although that is just my observation.

• easier to optimize our computer costs
• transition from server to serverless was easier once we decided to adopt Fargate
