Building a static serverless website using S3 and CloudFront

Re:Building a static serverless website using S3 and CloudFront by pansa2 on Monday February 17, 2020 @06:32PM (#22351980)

Are there any guidelines for controlling cost when running a static website on S3+CloudFront?

Say my regular bill for this setup was $5 a month. Can I at least get a notification if I have a lot of visits and the bill goes over a threshold, say $50?

Also, is there any protection against things like DDoS that could quickly push the bill into the $100s and beyond?

aws (and all other cloud providers I've used) has a pretty elaborate cost alert system.

Alerts do nothing to stop a huge bill.

You can use a lambda function that is triggered by a cloudwatch alarm when your bill approaches an arbitrary limit.

What you do in response to such an event is entirely up to you
