I like how both you and the sibling comment tried to educate me on the difference between containers and event-driven compute. I'm well aware of the difference. My point, which maybe I didn't make so clear since both of you missed it, was that you can make fargate spin up a container for an event, but it would be too slow for any useful event driven computing.

If you're gonna use containers, use containers. If you want someone else to manage the container for you, use Lambda.
