ECS is far, far far smoother, simpler and stable than anything else out there in cluster orchestration. It just works. Even with EC2 instances it just works. And if you opt for Fargate, then that's far more stable option.

I am saying this after bootstrapping k8s and ECS both.

The only pain point there I think is auto scaling logic. But otherwise it’s painless.

I find auto-scaling with fargate to be pretty straightforward. What's the pain point there for you?

It works, but the way it’s not part of fargate, and instead some combination of cloudwatch events and rules modifying the ‘desiredCount’ property on the service.

Just feel like it could all be done in a slightly more integrated way.
