Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We had to use AWS Batch for multiple jobs. As it is fully managed it will save you a lot of work. If you are working with AWS services like EC2, it integrates seamlessly. Also creating the cluster is difficult.
Pros
  • Easy to share files
  • Automate jobs
  • Ease of scalability
Cons
  • Very little documentation on AWS Batch
  • It takes up a lot of time to load
Likelihood to Recommend
I would advise that to use AWS Batch if there is no other alternative. It delivers on its promise and is a great product and there is the factor of cost. I would suggest none other AWS Lamba or other alternatives in the market as it is quite slow from my experience.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Currently using S3 for storage and adding direct links to these files for Members Area website to view videos and download PDF worksheets. The price is economical for the type and number of files I have and the program I use for my Membership website does not allow to store the videos there directly.
Pros
  • S3 amount of files
  • Easy to share files to other sites
  • Like that the files and folders can be open and public or completely private
  • I like that you can have double or mirroring in different Data Centers for Data Recovery
Cons
  • It would be nice if the website has embedded little videos for how to do things, since I had to first go to YouTube to see how to figure things out.
  • The words are very techy- which I don't mind too much considering the diversity of the apps and the value, but that does not work for a lot of regular solopreneurs who don't come from the tech world.
Likelihood to Recommend
More appropriate if you have a tech group that can use more of the AWS Batch rather than one or 2 things. It works great for me, but there was a huge learning curve the first week of using it. Now, I love it - and I hope to dig deep into other parts not just S3.

Pros
  • Fully Managed service
  • We can use other AWS services, it is well integrated
  • Cheaper
  • Best resource utilisation
Cons
  • Jobs monitoring dashboards are not matured
  • Documentation and support is something which can be improved
  • Sometime i faced the slow response or slow in performance i would say
Likelihood to Recommend
Overall experience using AWS Batch is good, our day to day tasks are full-filling using AWS Batch, we have migrated our all the in premises job and we are able to run more than 100 jobs using AWS Batch with efficiency, It is easy to use, Monitoring of the jobs i am finding little difficulty

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We need to not manage the machines, very easy to use, great dashboard, fully supported SDK for programmatic access. We were short of resources, so we used batch which helped with no need of monitoring underlying infrastructure.
Pros
  • No need to manage underlying infrastructure.
  • Easy Dashboard for monitoring jobs.
  • Great SDK, programmatic access.
Cons
  • Dashboard does not have search, filters.
  • We cannot configure machine allocation.
  • Jobs history is very limited.
Likelihood to Recommend
Easy to configure task queues and queue tasks that require async execution with AWS client for PHP. Good logs on AWS CloudWatch where you can log output and errors of the task execution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We encountered issues orchestrating long-running tasks in Lambda functions, as they have a limit of 15 minutes. We needed a solution that could be triggered from AWS Step Functions. Then we found yes it's a bit tedious to set up, has a steep learning curve but once that's passed you can easily run a 24 or 48 hours or other long-timed task without any issues, which helped our use case where needed to run a task which took 24 hours even with AWS Batch's Compute
Pros
  • Easy to orchestrate and trigger jobs
  • No time limit issues like lambda
  • Multiple Jobs can be run in same single compute and job queue
  • JOb queue can queue up task for parralled or serialization
Cons
  • Steep Learning Curve
  • Setting up jobs could be easy
  • Giving roles access to compute environment is hard and confusing
Likelihood to Recommend
In our case, we had a SQL shell script that ingested data into RDS using the MySQL command-line interface (CLI). However, the file was 4 gigabytes in size, so reading each line, transforming the data, and writing it to different tables for various files took a considerable amount of time.

Less Appropriate: if your job doesn't run on demand or can be completed in less than 15 mins , batch doesn't set your use case as the steep learning complexity for such a small time consuming workload is better spent on lambdas or EC2 configuration as well , and if you don't know but batch is a lot more expensive than lambda's or basic EC2
