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

Greenfield container platforms

Teams that need containers but not Kubernetes — ECS with Fargate is the answer.

Fargate-first APIs

Stateless services on Fargate with no node management, autoscaling, and per-task IAM.

Migration from EC2

Move long-running EC2 services to ECS for better packing, IAM, and rollout safety.

Cost-sensitive ECS on Spot

Non-critical workloads running on EC2 Spot capacity providers with diversified instance pools.

Blue/green & canary deploys

CodeDeploy-driven traffic shifting with health checks and automatic rollback.

ECS rescues

We take over click-ops ECS estates, IaC the task definitions, and bring the cluster under control.

How we deliver

Our Amazon ECS delivery process

  1. 01

    Cluster + capacity design

    We size capacity providers, pick Fargate vs. EC2 per workload, and decide where Spot fits.

  2. 02

    IaC task definitions

    Terraform or CDK for cluster, services, and task definitions. No console-only resources.

  3. 03

    Deploy & observe

    CodeDeploy blue/green, CloudWatch Container Insights, and per-service IAM scoping.

  4. 04

    Operate & optimize

    Right-sizing reviews, Spot expansion, autoscaling tuning, and FinOps hygiene.

Amazon ECS: Frequently Asked Questions

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.
