Ness – Deploy web sites to your AWS account

I think this is a pretty bad starting point - static sites are basically free with Cloudflare/GitHub/Gitlab Pages all providing completely free offerings, making AWS a non-starter for hobby projects due to the costs involved.

Really? I've run several websites on CloudFront that got more than 100 visits per day and they didn't even break out of the free tier. I hosted something else that served 10x that and it cost like 16 cents per month. I don't think there is anything anywhere that is as cost effective as CloudFront!

Edit: Actually, right now I'm hosting around 10 small websites completely on the CloudFront free tier on a single AWS account, and I'm using the lambda free tier to handle all the redirects for them as well (i.e. SEO and www to non-www).

Free tier is 50 GB of data out a month and even the most expensive traffic data out after that is $0.12 per GB. For most sites the domain name registration is likely to be the biggest cost.

But it's free for first 12 months only.

There are virtually no costs involved here, for the vast majority.

This isn’t for static sites deployment.

Actually, no, this is for static sites deployment, it says so in the README. Only Next.js sites use Lambda@Edge, everything else is an S3 website.

My mistakes. Just realizing this.
