February Newsletter: User Guide to AWS Fargate

Do you remember the days when you had to manage your own servers and infrastructure? Yeah, we don't either! ?? That's because we live in the glorious era of serverless computing, where you can run your applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. ???

But wait, there's more! With AWS, you can take serverless to a whole new level. AWS Fargate, for example, lets you run containers without the need to manage computing capacity. It's like having a personal assistant who takes care of all the boring stuff, so you can focus on the important things in life (like binge-watching your favorite TV show). ??

The Topic of the Month - User Guide to AWS Fargate

In this newsletter edition, we're excited to feature a user guide on AWS Fargate, written by our talented engineer,?Sándor Bakos! ??

Sandor's guide provides a step-by-step approach to getting started with AWS Fargate, including how to set up and deploy containers, monitor resources, handle auto-scaling, and more!

So, sit back, relax, and let AWS take care of the heavy lifting. It's time to unleash the power of serverless computing and take your applications to the next level. ??
