Introductory Workshop to AWS Fargate
Take your first step with our fun Mythical Mysfits workshop. You will start with the basics of how to containerize a monolith service and deploy using AWS Fargate. As you continue along, you learn how to scale you application using an ALB and ECS service. Following modern application development (MAD) best practices, you will break up your monolith application into microservices and re-deploy using AWS Fargate.
