You don't even need the instance if it's a static site that can be served directly off S3. With S3+Cloudflare for a Jekyll blog, you can handle peaking to thousands of hits a second without noticing it at like $10/month.
- mrb 10y agoHow well do S3 and Cloudflare handle a page changing potentially every 2-3 minutes? I was under the impression S3 is not made for this use case.

It isn't made for that use case...the CDN provider I use takes ~15 minutes to update its Push Zone globally. However, a pair of $5 VMs and loading comments via JS "solves" the need for dynamic updates since comments are the only thing likely to change frequently. Personally, I don't have much need for hosted comments so I don't bother.
- mrb 10y agoOK that's what I thought. S3 isn't a solution. One of my requirements was: no JS needed to read a post and associated comments.
