The lambda would generate the static website after I type words into a webpage and then upload that site to the CDN.

It would also be the code behind the web page where I write the words.

Looking at your profile, I get the sense you are trolling :) but I have a bad time imagining the need for the elasticity of lambda for those single-user actions.

I'm not sure whether it's what they meant, but I could see the "admin" cms portion being hosted on lambda.

You'd load a static editor page, write your content, and then post it to a lambda endpoint. That lambda would then generate static pages for your content and push it to s3 or wherever.

It’s not the elasticity that matters, it’s the fact that I’d only have to pay for it to run when I want to update the site.
