AWS Fargate Alternatives: Comparing Serverless Container Options

Oct 31, 2025 By Rachel Whitener In CloudZero
Imagine you have an API service composed of multiple microservices. Traffic fluctuates — sometimes light, sometimes spiking. Without Fargate, you’d have to manage EC2 instances, autoscaling, patching, and more. With Fargate, you define each microservice as a task, setting the CPU/memory, container image, network rules, and AWS schedules, and then run them as needed. The result: faster deployment, lower ops overhead, and smooth scaling.

Decoding cloud credits: Are "free" credits locking you in?

Oct 30, 2025 By Emma Kinsey-Coates In Civo
“Free" cloud credits, they sound like a gift, but they often come with hidden costs and an agenda: lock-in. The illusion of a cost-saving measure can quickly become a vendor-specific trap, forcing costly migrations or leaving your business overpaying for cloud services.
