A comment on A serverless email server on AWS using S3 and SES. Parent comment
Hosting today scales linearly in terms of resources and costs...
In addition you can hook up additional AWS services as your needs arise:
Add a CDN and deliver content to the edges, faster .
Add lambdas to handle regular updates to content, or basic authentication when users come in.
Monitor usage via Cloudwatch
Add in serverless API via API Gateway - and provides users more dynamic functionality.
Yes - the vendor lock-in is a major downside. Serverless isnt for everyone, neither are the big cloud vendors... YMMV.
