The article's from December 2017 and you can see from the response headers that it's hosted on GitHub Pages again. There are plenty of gotchas when serving a static site via CloudFront. Let's say you have a page at example.com/foo/index.html. If you want it serve it from example.com/foo/ then you need to write a Lambda@Edge request function to handle the directory index — the article implies that CloudFront's default…
The only free hosted database that I am aware of is Mongo Atlas a 3 Node cluster with 500MB oh storage.
Your website doesn't have to be static to host it for free on AWS. You can do server side stuff with Lambda and if you can get away with the 128MB instance (easy enough to do for one function) you get 1 million request a month for free and 888 hours of processing time. ( https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/ ). The free tier for Lambda doesn't expire. The only free hosted database that I am aware of is Mongo Atlas a…

As an American expat living in Vietnam, I find it annoying when companies decided they "do not have any business" where I live. For example, if I want to purchase southwest airline tickets, I have to use a VPN.
Off-topic but interesting anyways, I've noticed that people who move from the US to elsewhere, often call themselves "expats", while people who move from elsewhere to the US, are called "immigrants". Why is that?

But wouldn't ApiGateway will be more expensive than Cloudfront+S3?
