How to migrate from AWS App Mesh to Amazon ECS Service Connect (AWS migration guide)

31 days until AWS App Mesh shuts down (2026-09-30). Do not wait.

1. Export your AWS App Mesh data now. See the export checklist. Grab the full archive, verify it opens.
2. Set up Amazon ECS Service Connect (AWS migration guide). https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/migrating-from-aws-app-mesh-to-amazon-ecs-service-connect/ - create the account and map your core objects before importing.
3. Run both in parallel for one cycle to catch gaps before AWS App Mesh goes dark.
4. Cut over: update integrations, billing and runbooks; keep the AWS App Mesh export archived.
