## What it is
ecspresso is a CLI deployment tool for Amazon ECS that manages services and task definitions as code in JSON, YAML, or Jsonnet files. It supports rolling and Blue/Green deployments, diff/verify previews, rollback, and a plugin system for Terraform, SSM, and Secrets Manager lookups.

## Use cases
- deploy ecs services from code
- manage ecs task definitions as code
- blue green deployment on ecs with codedeploy
- preview diffs before ecs deployment
- rollback a bad ecs deployment
- scale ecs service out and in
- generate ecs config from existing service

## When to choose
- you deploy to Amazon ECS or Fargate and want infrastructure as code
- you need Blue/Green or rolling deployments with diff, verify, and rollback
- you want to reference Terraform state, SSM parameters, or Secrets Manager values in task definitions

## When to avoid
- you deploy to Kubernetes or other non-ECS platforms
- you prefer a full GUI or managed deployment service over a CLI tool
- you only need one-off container runs without service management
