“Operational Simplicity Increases but Higher Costs and Cold Starts Noted With Fargate”
I used Fargate to run containerized workloads without managing EC2 nodes. This removes a significant operational burden. Scaling, patching, and node lifecycle management are no longer a concern
The tradeoff is a higher per-task cost compared to normal nodes

“Redeployment Delays and Frequent Outages Reported in Cloud Service Operations”
The service is very slow. We run one container because the service isn't and can't be highly available. Unfortunately, the redeployment takes random time. From 2 mins to 12 mins. If the outage lasts too long, the service will be unavailable in the meantime. I would expect the redeployment in seconds nowadays.
Also, updates of this service are very often and automatically reloads this service, causing other interruptions.

Simplifies infrastructure management, letting us focus on the container application.
We use Fargate internally for smaller projects and appreciate not having to manage the infrastructure. We tried to leverage spot-instances to lower costs. - It Security & Risk Management Associate<50M USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
