The "app" in this case would be client-side logic (e.g. written in JS) which might then render the blog client-side by pulling down the text for the blog. Ultimately, everything on the server is unchanging until you do a rebuild with new content.

So long as the hosted content isn't dynamically generated server-side when you visit, it's static.

Single page app uses .js to load page inside index.html w/ push state.

I like this 'serverless' approach.

It most certainly is not serverless.
