Deploy Node Service on ECS Fargate

First thing first, what is ECS Fargate?

ECS Fargate is the combination of 2 different services, ECS and Fargate.

ECS stands for Elastic Container Service and its Fully AWS-managed Container Orchestration tool and you don’t need to pay for Control Node(Similar to Kubernetes Master Worker nodes).
Fargate is a kind of worker node where you don’t need to provision/maintain the underlying Ec2 machine. you just need to provide specifications of your desired container for example; 2GiB memory with 1core CPUs

Why adopt Fargate:

• AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine that lets you focus on building applications without managing servers.
• Deploy and manage your applications, not infrastructure.
• Fargate removes the operational overhead of scaling, patching, securing, and managing servers.
• Monitor your applications via built-in integrations with AWS services like Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights.
• Supports multiple architectures: Windows, Linux/amd, and Linux/arm

Sample Hello world Node application:

• Below application would throw 200 response code / path and give us Hellow world as output.
