Running Camunda 8 on AWS Fargate

Tim Ellison: <#C6WGNHV2A|general> sorry if this has been asked before. I searched and didn’t find anything… Has anyone had any success installing Camunda 8 platform on aws eks using fargate?

Tony A: Hi Tim,

I guess you mean ECS Fargate, as if its EKS you’d use the Helm Charts…?

But assuming Fargate, yes I’ve gotten it running successfully, there was a short thread on here some time ago and it doesn’t come up in the search anymore. From that discussion I shared this CDK stack for deploying a Zeebe Fargate cluster with 3 brokers using ephemeral task storage.

More recently I’ve been trying to formalise that work into a CDK construct library which is still experimental, but is currently available on the construct hub. Even if you’re not using CDK, you may find the diagrams useful.
