Hi, I’m new to Dagster and am trying to set up a production deployment for my company. I’m a bit confused as to the difference between Dagster Cloud and regular Dagster. What’s the difference between setting up an ECS Agent (https://docs.dagster.cloud/agents/ecs/setup) as opposed to deploying Dagster to AWS (https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/guides/aws). Is there a recommendation for one over the other?
Thanks in advance!

Upon further reading — Dagster Cloud is a managed service that is still in Beta, so I should self-host until I get off the waitlist

dagster cloud hosts the "dagit" user interface, and has a couple of utilities that make it simpler to do a full CI/CD workflow. you'll still need to stand up your orchestration service (we use EKS), but if you can get in (and pay for) Dagster Cloud, it can simplify some of the full deployment
