Serverless vs Containers

Lambda, ECS/Fargate, or EKS? Answer five questions about your workload and get a scored recommendation with honest pros and cons for each option.

1.How long does each invocation / request typically run?

2.What is the traffic pattern?

3.How sensitive is your workload to startup latency (cold starts)?

4.Does your team have container/Docker experience?

5.How important is multi-cloud portability or avoiding vendor lock-in?
