Which AWS compute service—Lambda, Fargate, or EC2—best suits your workload?
Compares AWS Lambda (serverless), Fargate (containers), and EC2 (virtual machines) for modern cloud workloads in terms of cost, scalability, and control.

• AWS Lambda: Serverless, auto-scaling functions ideal for event-driven applications; cost-efficient for infrequent tasks. • AWS Fargate: Run containers without managing servers—perfect for microservices needing persistent containers. • AWS EC2: Full VM control, ideal for legacy apps and workloads needing custom networking or persistent state. The choice depends on architecture model (functions vs containers vs VMs), scaling needs, and operational complexity. Tags: aws, lambda, fargate, ec2, serverless, containers
