IIUC though, Fargate doesn't have "scale to zero" like Lambda and API Gateway. Then again, IMO, scale to zero and the associated cold starts probably aren't the best fit for handling HTTP requests that are waiting for an answer right now.

Cloud Run on GCP is the “run any container” solution that this isn’t. It scales to zero, responds immediately to an incoming http request and can handle up to 50 concurrent requests out of the one invocation for no additional cost.
