If you've ever hit deploy on AWS Fargate and watched the task sit in PENDING forever, this one's for you.
I ran a small experiment with Seekable OCI (SOCI) the AWS thing that promises to fix Fargate cold starts. This article is what I learned. The good, the boring, and the "wait, that didn't work?" bits.
You'll walk away knowing what SOCI is, whether you should bother setting it up, and what real numbers look like!
Prerequisites ✅
You've deployed something on AWS Fargate before.
