Deploy SpiceDB on Amazon ECS

What's this blog post about?

Here is a summary of the text: Deploying SpiceDB to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) allows for a managed container orchestration service that simplifies deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. To deploy SpiceDB on ECS, one needs an AWS account with relevant permissions, Docker installed, and access to Amazon ECR. A quickstart guide is provided, along with a CloudFormation template and instructions on how to run a task in an ECS cluster. The process involves creating an ECS cluster, IAM roles, defining the task definition, running the task, adding schema and testing permissions, and configuring a CloudFormation template for production deployment. However, deploying SpiceDB on ECS has limitations, including difficulty with service discovery and horizontal dispatch, making Kubernetes or Amazon EKS a recommended alternative deployment target.
