It would probably be a good idea to add "Management of additional services" as an area for discussion. The ECS approach containerizes both the application and its dependent services. By contrast, Heroku containerizes the application and plugs into external add-on services, e.g., Postgres. These are both superior, IMO, to managing installations of Postgres, etc., on all of our EC2 instances.
