> I don't want an article that goes viral to give me huge bills or crush a tiny server. I want automatic scaling. I'm not sure that an article that goes viral can do this any more, if you're running a simple static site. Even a million hits a day on my website would only be something like 150 gigabytes of traffic a month, if it were sustained. (I'd expect a much smaller spike). At Amazon's current pricing, that's about $15/month.
