fargate-cloudformation-example

I have been using a modified version of this for 8 years. I didn’t write it https://github.com/1Strategy/fargate-cloudformation-example/... It’s never taken 30 minutes to pass in a new parameter value for the Docker container. Also as far as rollbacks just use —disable-rollbacks. The only time I’ve had CFT get stuck is using custom resources when I didn’t have proper error handling and I didn’t send the failure signal back to CFT. This is with raw CFT using SAM.

Fair point, I’m working on a project now that doesn’t require responsiveness - it’s not user facing. We were burned so bad by Lambda cold starts for user facing lambdas that were backing websites we said forget it and just used ECS/fargate. This is my go to template - I didn’t write it. I found it 7 years ago. https://github.com/1Strategy/fargate-cloudformation-example/... You just update the parameter for your container image and redeploy. Of course you have provisioned concurrency that can help. But the easiest way to test Python lambdas locally is just to run it like any other Python script and call your event handler with the event you want to test
