Figma were running on ECS before, so they weren't just running dedicated servers.
I'm a K8S believer, but it _is_ complicated. It solves hard problems. If you're multi-cloud, it's a no brainer. If you're doing complex infra that you want a 1:1 mapping of locally, it works great.
But if you're less than 100 developers and are deploying containers to just AWS, I think you'd be insane to use EKS over ECS + Fargate in 2024.
