AWS Batch vs AWS Fargate: What are the differences?
Developers describe AWS Batch as "Fully Managed Batch Processing at Any Scale". It enables developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of batch computing jobs on AWS. It dynamically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (e.g., CPU or memory optimized instances) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted. On the other hand, AWS Fargate is detailed as "Run Containers Without Managing Infrastructure". AWS Fargate is a technology for Amazon ECS and EKS* that allows you to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters. With AWS Fargate, you no longer have to provision, configure, and scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers.
AWS Batch belongs to "Serverless / Task Processing" category of the tech stack, while AWS Fargate can be primarily classified under "Containers as a Service".
