Amazon ECS Development Services — Containers Without Kubernetes
ECS and Fargate platform engineering — task definitions, capacity providers, blue/green deploys, and the operational layer container workloads need.
What we build with Amazon ECS
- ECS on EC2 and Fargate with mixed capacity providers
- Task definitions with IAM task roles and least-privilege
- Blue/green and canary deploys via CodeDeploy
- Service Discovery via Cloud Map or service mesh
- Spot strategy for non-critical tasks
- Migration paths from EC2 instances or Kubernetes to ECS where it fits
Why DiveScale
Built by engineers who ship Amazon ECS in production
ECS is the lower-friction way to run containers on AWS. If your team does not need the Kubernetes ecosystem, ECS gives you orchestration without the operational tax. DiveScale ships ECS workloads that are properly automated, IAM-scoped, and cost-aware.
We default to Fargate for stateless services where you do not need node control. EC2 capacity providers come in for cost-sensitive or GPU workloads. The choice is per-service, not cluster-wide ideology.
Blue/green via CodeDeploy is the default — zero-downtime rollouts, automatic rollback on health checks, and load-balancer-aware traffic shifting.
Amazon ECS use cases we deliver
How we deliver
Our Amazon ECS delivery process
- 01
Cluster + capacity design
We size capacity providers, pick Fargate vs. EC2 per workload, and decide where Spot fits.
- 02
IaC task definitions
Terraform or CDK for cluster, services, and task definitions. No console-only resources.
- 03
Deploy & observe
CodeDeploy blue/green, CloudWatch Container Insights, and per-service IAM scoping.
- 04
Operate & optimize
Right-sizing reviews, Spot expansion, autoscaling tuning, and FinOps hygiene.

ECS if your team is small, you do not need the Kubernetes ecosystem, and you value lower operational overhead. EKS when you need Operators, Helm, or multi-team developer platforms.
