I'm running a backend API as a standalone task on ECS Fargate, and it's got a public IP that works just fine. Now, I'm looking to serve it securely over HTTPS. I'm considering connecting it either through an API Gateway or an Application Load Balancer (ALB). What do you think is the better option?

Using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) with a certificate from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is a solid approach. It's straightforward and integrates well with ECS Fargate. Plus, it's widely supported and reliable!

Both options are valid, but Amazon API Gateway does come with some cool features if you're looking for advanced management. You can set up throttling, authentication, and even manipulate requests and responses.

I'd lean towards ALB since it's the easiest to set up. Once you've configured ACM for your certificates, you're all set without having to worry about per-request charges—only the monthly fee and data transfer costs. That's a pretty good deal!
