I use Serverless Framework with https://seed.run every chance I get (haven’t tried SST yet), but sometimes using Docker is unavoidable. Is anyone aware of a tool that managed AWS ECS Fargate, similar to how sls manages Lambda? I want to avoid using Terraform if possible. In other words, solve for ❌

AWS Lambda : Serverless Framework == AWS ECS : ❌

Going to be hard to avoid an IaC tool to manage this. Can use CDK instead of Terraform which should have less overhead / setup

I haven’t had the opportunity to dive into SST yet, but does it solve for problems like publishing Docker images during the CI/CD pipeline? Or maybe seed.run handles that?

SST is built on top of AWS CDK. We provide higher level abstractions for common serverless patterns. For everything we don't cover, you can use CDK directly. With cdk you can do what you're talking about with pushing to an image registry

That is a fine recommendation, but I’d like to start differently. I googled things like “sst docker” or “sst ecs fargate” and I don’t see any patterns where people are using SST and ECS. I don’t wanna be alone 😢

You'd want to search

cdk ecs fargate

Yes, that was my next thing I was typing All the CDK ECS Fargate examples use CodeBuild+CodePipeline. I much prefer seed.run though, or a similarly purpose-built CI/CD service

You can do this in the cdk code with any ci tool

That last link, that may be the missing link

+1 with @thdxr

And I’d be able to get PR Deploys via seed.run? Of my ECS Fargate service?

Yup. If u put this into ur SST app, you will be able to

sst deploy —-stage dev

or to

—-stage pr345

More broadly remember cdk is just running javascript. Which means you can make it do anything you dream of!

This… this is too good to be true
