Is it possible to connect API Gateway with Fargate Service directly (whitout using a load balancer). I'm working in a development environment and I don't want to waste money in the load balancer.

Unless you have a DNS entry that can address all the containers you're running, you would need a load balancer.

Not sure if this is still relevant but I was also searching for a solution where API Gateway could be connected to ECS Containers without the need for a (expensive) Load Balancer. Thought of an AWS Lambda Proxy first but there seems to be a more elegant and direct solution which makes the need to write and maintain AWS Lambda Code obsolete.
Basically you will need an API Gateway HTTP Private Integrations API, a VPC Link to create trust between your Gateway and ECS resources and Cloud Map to enable Service Discovery. Here some resources that go a little more into the details on how to it:
