Efficiently Managing Non-Production ECS Costs with AWS Lambda and EventBridge

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a powerful, fully managed container orchestration service that allows organizations to quickly run and scale containerized applications. While ECS provides the flexibility to deploy and manage containers, cost optimization is crucial, particularly for non-production environments like development, staging, or testing. Non-production workloads often have fluctuating usage, making them perfect candidates for dynamic scaling to save costs. One effective way to achieve this is by using AWS Lambda to automate ECS scaling, ensuring that ECS services only run when necessary.
