Cutting AWS Bills 40%: ECS Fargate Cost Patterns That Worked

Right-sizing tasks, capacity providers, savings plans, and image slimming - the playbook we use across client clusters.

Most ECS Fargate bills can be cut 30–50% without hurting performance. Here are the levers we pull, in order: right-size CPU/memory using actuals, use Fargate Spot for stateless workloads, slim container images, and switch to Compute Savings Plans.

We use these patterns across production engagements for clients in fintech, healthcare, and SaaS - and we're happy to walk you through the trade-offs in a working session if it helps your team.
