Personal blog authors - if you insist on not using Medium/similar big box blogging service, just host your blog as flat files on S3. It will never, ever go down when you hit number 1 on HN (as this poor author's site has).
- skarap 10y agoIt wouldn't go down with flat files even if you hosted it on an arduino connector to your phone's tethered wifi.

- pat2man 10y agoYou can also throw cloudflare in front of it for free.

Caching just for a few seconds (some people call it microcaching [1]) will let your blog survive without issues.
