| `via-app-runner.md` | AWS App Runner | Simple containerized web apps, minimal configuration (default for containers) |
| `via-ecs-fargate.md` | ECS Fargate | Production containers, complex apps, full orchestration |

## Quick Decision Guide

- **Default serverless**: `via-lambda.md` — SAM or Serverless Framework for functions and APIs
- **Default containers**: `via-app-runner.md` — simplest path from code/image to HTTPS endpoint
- **Complex containers**: `via-ecs-fargate.md` — when you need load balancers, VPC, advanced orchestration
