In 2025, choosing the right AWS compute service isn't just about knowing the features — it's about making the right decision for your workload, budget, and team.
As an AWS Engineer or DevOps Architect, you’ve likely asked yourself:
“Should I go with Lambda or ECS?”
“Is EC2 still relevant in 2025?”
“Do we really need to adopt EKS?”
I wrote a detailed blog post exploring these questions — backed by real-world experience, architecture patterns, and cost-performance tradeoffs.
What you’ll learn in the post:
- When to choose EC2, Lambda, ECS, or EKS
- Cost vs complexity vs control breakdown
- Real use cases from cloud-native and hybrid teams
- An architecture decision matrix you can actually use
Whether you’re designing new systems or modernizing legacy ones, this guide will help you make confident compute decisions in 2025 and beyond.
