What is the difference between the customer success recipe for EKS deployment vs EKS on Fargate as shown here?

I'm not a DevOps Engineer, so my "recipe" is simply using
eksctl
to create the infrastructure; under the hood, it deploys a CloudFormation template for you. The Customer Success recipe is using Terraform - that's the main difference.
also, just to clarify - in this post, I actually was using vanilla EKS (single EC2 instance, always-on data plane) rather than EKS on Fargate. But you could use
eksctl
to deploy a Kubernetes cluster with EKS on Fargate instead (serverless data plane) - both are valid options and you can find more about it in the eksctl documentation - they have excellent docs, I'm a huge fan of this library

got it, thanks so much Anna I'll look into this immediately!
