About:
AWS Copilot CLI is an open-source command-line interface for building, deploying, and managing containerized applications on Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate. It simplifies cloud-native application development by providing opinionated commands for creating CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and observability stacks. The tool helps developers adopt AWS best practices without deep infrastructure expertise.

Key Features:

Application-first workflow with service and environment management
Automated CI/CD pipeline creation with AWS CodePipeline
Built-in infrastructure provisioning using AWS CloudFormation
Local development environment with task execution and debugging
Integrated observability with CloudWatch and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry

Use Cases:

Migrating containerized applications from local development to production ECS/Fargate
Establishing standardized deployment pipelines for microservices architectures
Rapid prototyping of cloud-native applications with AWS best practices

Alternatives:

ecs-cli – AWS Copilot provides higher-level abstractions and better developer experience than the older ecs-cli
Terraform – Terraform offers more infrastructure control but requires more configuration for ECS workflows
kubectl – kubectl is for Kubernetes, while Copilot is specifically optimized for AWS ECS/Fargate ecosystems
