01/18/2023, 6:30 PMHello all, what are the AWS monthly cost differences between the EKS and Step Function/Batch deployments?
They both use EC2 for compute, but could see the Step Functions/Batch being more cost effective because they would only have compute when executing workloads.
Are there any other pros/cons between the deployment architectures that we need to be aware of?

01/18/2023, 7:33 PMa tradeoff is that when your needs/scale grow, there’s limited amount of flexibility in those systems. Hence EKS and Argo Workflows are a better option for more demanding setups
A nice thing about Metaflow is that you can start with SFN+Batch and if you hit any limits, move to EKS without changing anything in your code
