I’m using Hugo [0], and this is how I host my site.

I have a small bash script that will generate the static files, push to S3, and issue a CloudFront invalidation.

Also, my bill is ~0.60 USD/month.

I have done the exact same thing with a Makefile :)

Be sure to check out Stout as well, we use it to deploy our static apps and it works and does all the config for you: http://stout.is

I also use S3, add also a bucket named www.example.com that redirects to example.com bucket.

Invalidations are inefficient, and theoretically more expensive. Better to use version prefixes.
