I prefer to use AWS services that don't require any "spinning up": CloudFront/ACS/S3 for static web files, API Gateway/Lambda for backend, IoT for websockets. It takes some effort to configure everything, but then there's pretty much zero maintenance involved, so you can move on to other projects and keep the old ones running at very low cost.

Anyway, the purpose was to say that you don't have to spin up virtual machines on AWS if you build your app with the serverless paradigm, and that fits small projects well because of really low cost. Tools like Serverless can be used to automate most of this.
