I would advise others that before they use this solution, they figure out what they want to achieve. There are many solutions available and you should use the most appropriate one. The main concept is, to use the most managed service you can get because that's the point of the cloud. So, try Lambda. If you can't do Lambda, use Fargate. If you can't Fargate, then use ECS. If you can't do ECS, then you can use ROSA or Kubernetes, or something like that. But if you end up with a virtual machine, then question yourself, "Why are you in the cloud in the first place?" This solution costs a bit more than ECS, but it's not terrible. It's four times less than ROSA, so it's good. It costs more than Lambda. So, if you have to use it and you can't use Lambda, then use Fargate. That's the concept. I think AWS Fargate is worth its money.
We would advise that this solution has a slightly-higher price point than others on the market. There is a free plan available for start-ups, but the free and lower range licensing models do not provide the full functionality.
What are compute services? Compute services are also known as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). This is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud, and it’s designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Compute platforms supply a virtual server instance while providing storage and APIs that allow users to migrate workloads to virtual machines. Users are allocated compute power and can choose to start, stop, access, or configure their...
We have obtained a significant discount on the pricing, so I wouldn't consider it as expensive. It's quite reasonable.

I rate the price of AWS Fargate a four out of five.
