terraform-aws-icons VS copilot-cli

𝌸 cfn-diagram will visualise CloudFormation templates as diagrams. To take static screenshots of generated diagrams from cfn-diagram you can use the extension cfn-diagram-ci. Terraform already has the functionality for generating architecture diagrams by default, but if you need AWS icons in the architecture diagram you have to add an extension such as terraform-aws-icons must be used.

AWS Copilot CLI is an open source command line interface for running containers on AWS App Runner, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and AWS Fargate.

sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/copilot https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli/releases/latest/download/copilot-linux && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/copilot

This is by far the best way to deploy compute into AWS in containerized workloads.

The abstraction you want is Jobs: ttps://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/docs/concepts/jobs/

Building this any other way on AWS would require provisioning multiple artifacts. The Copilot Jobs abstraction basically encapsulates the provisioning of those artifacts into one repeatable pattern.

AWS Copilot CLI is a tool that lets you deploy production-ready, scalable services on AWS from a Dockerfile in one command.

and here is the copilot page if you are interested https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/

For larger high availability required things, AWS ECS with RDS, ElastiCache, CloudFront, S3, etc.. Really like Copilot for deployment/env/secret/sidecar management (probably needs a rename now): https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/

We are spending about 60% less. Workload has actually lessened since AWS is so much more stable. Getting to a similar DX as Heroku was quite the lift, but once it's done, it's done. These days we generally only have outages when we screw something up ourselves. I recommend https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli for starting out on ECS.
