May just be my naïveté, but I thought that something like ECS or EKS is much cheaper than an in-house k8 engineer.

Move to EKS and you still need a k8s engineer, but one who also knows AWS, and you also pay the AWS premium for the hosting, egress, etc. It might make sense for your use case but I definitely wouldn’t consider it a cost-saving measure.
If you don’t have staff to do that, you probably aren’t at the scale when you need them, and you’re needlessly adding complexity.

It’s always baffling to me why people think that ECS or god forbid EKS is somehow easier than a few Linux boxes.
