Static site? You can serve insane amount if static content with cheap vps box. Are people now only using so called serverless tech and forgotten how it works underneath all the buzz words? 5 dollar digitalocean box can serve double the HN traffic and more.

The described cloud front configuration would be less than $5/month. How? As you point out, the cheap VPS box can serve insane amounts of traffic, so AWS doesn’t even need hardware equating to that box to host your content.
