When to Use Each Option
Choose Lambda if: You have bursty or variable traffic, need to reduce operational overhead, or expect under 1M requests/month.
Choose Fargate if: You need consistent, high traffic (>5M requests/month), require custom runtimes, or need finer control.
Choose EC2 if: You're running 24/7 high-throughput workloads with long-term commitments and have DevOps capacity.
