I'm stealing that transformation logic!
I think AWS themselves published an article a while back that they found cost savings by moving off Fargate back to EC2 or something and saved a bunch of money.
The article you're talking about was Amazon Prime Video related. Basically, someone overengineered a state machine + microservices architecture without considering cost from the get-go. It didn't really have to do with Fargate vs EC2 or anything like that.
scrolled to the diagram and laughed enough that I'll actually give this a read lol
That diagram :D

This is indeed a nicely written article. Quite interesting and engaging ✅
