I think you did a great job of highlighting what I would say is the ideal path for AWS development nowadays. Start with Lambda, move to ECS if Lambda doesn't fit your needs, and only consider EC2-based applications as a last resort or a lift n' shift strategy for migration.

Thanks, Scott! Lambda sure make it easy to iterate quickly, without needing to sink hours into DevOps tasks, but it definitely does make sense for some use cases to sink the time needed into running on ECS/EC2/etc.
