Architecting for Success and Runway
summary
Gronda describes moving off Elastic Beanstalk to ECS Fargate containers and on-demand tasks, cutting hosting cost about 50% while reducing overprovisioned EC2/RDS counts and switching to Graviton and savings plans; migration shows task-level cost visibility and faster horizontal scaling. Scalable Capital explains a serverless, event-driven stack that handles ~$10B daily transactions and reclaims control using Cost Explorer, QuickSight dashboards, AWS Budgets, Trusted Advisor, S3 Intelligent‑Tiering and tagging to identify compute/storage hot spots and stabilize spend.
