Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When your code needs to scale without the fuss
Lambda's here, no servers to discuss
But watch that cold start when functions sleep
First request waits while containers leap
Event source mappings bridge the gap
SQS to Lambda, close the trap
Fifteen minutes max before timeout
Plan your limits or you'll strike out

[Chorus]
Lambda when it's quick and light
Containers when you need more might
EC2 when control's your game
Platform choices aren't the same
Cold starts, concurrency, costs align
Choose your compute by design
Serverless or container flow
Know your workload, watch it grow

[Verse 2]
ECS orchestrates your container dance
Task definitions give each service chance
Fargate handles infrastructure care
EC2 launch when you want control to share
Blue green deployments minimize the pain
Switch traffic smooth, no downtime strain
Service discovery finds your peers
ECR holds images through the years

[Chorus]
Lambda when it's quick and light
Containers when you need more might
EC2 when control's your game
Platform choices aren't the same
Cold starts, concurrency, costs align
Choose your compute by design
Serverless or container flow
Know your workload, watch it grow

[Bridge]
CloudWatch sees it all unfold
Custom metrics, stories told
Log insights query structured data
Alarms ring when things get hotter
Dashboards paint the bigger picture
Cost modeling makes you richer

[Verse 3]
Event driven workloads love the Lambda way
Batch processing jobs might need to stay
On containers running through the night
Or EC2 with compute might
API Gateway triggers functions fast
EventBridge makes events broadcast
Concurrency limits keep things sane
Thousand concurrent is the lane

[Chorus]
Lambda when it's quick and light
Containers when you need more might
EC2 when control's your game
Platform choices aren't the same
Cold starts, concurrency, costs align
Choose your compute by design
Serverless or container flow
Know your workload, watch it grow

[Outro]
Platform engineers must choose with care
Lambda, containers, instances to share
Monitor close with CloudWatch eyes
Your architecture's no surprise
Production ready, scales with grace
Every workload finds its place
