@TanVD I am running ktor on ECS. Are there any plans to support ECS services in kotless?

We do want to support it, yes. Kotless would generate full terraform template and, possibly, dockerfiles. You can describe your use-case in an issue — it would help us a lot)

Certainly! We're currently writing our own dockerfile and cloudformation+ansible. Would be great to generate it

Just out of curiosity. What would be the advantage for you to run it in ECS instead of Lambda? I also have a ktor service that runs on Fargate. But since I was listening the Kotless talk on KotlinConf I’m thinking to give it a try and move the service to Lambda.

Under invariable middle load ECS may cost less. Thats why in case of Kotless + Ktor we provide both ways of deployment -- serverless and standard servers, so you can deploy firstly your app on a serverless platform and then switch to ECS, when you've reached reasonable number of users and profile of load is invariable.

Okay yes that is true. In some scenarios it may cost less. I will still give the Lambdas a try and move my ECS service to Lambda.

Shouldn't ECS also have a lower maximum response time with the time it takes Lambdas to spin up

Kotless has

autowarm

feature, so for the first user there is no difference. But under load, for new lambdas -- yes 🙂
