This is really cool, definitely see some of the polish come out since the last version published here.
If you wanted to host this indefinitely for $12 / year, you could buy a domain like hackernewspaper.com or something similar, and host the frontend using a static HTML/CSS/JS bundle on S3 + CloudFront + Route 53. For reference, here's a CloudFormation (infrastructure-as-code) template I made for that stack here: https://github.com/tinydevcrm/tinydevcrm-api-docs/blob/a4d293f79d3a8a41920e4b4d9a6c5cc26fa988c5/stack.yaml https://github.com/tinydevcrm/tinydevcrm-api-docs/blob/a4d29...
- yingw787 6y agoTo clarify, the $12 / year would be the cost of the domain name, running the stack should be close to free.
- ozkan 6y agohow is it free?
- gpm 6y agoBecause "AWS Free Tier includes 50GB data transfer out, 2,000,000 HTTP and HTTPS Requests with Amazon CloudFront" presumably. For small websites you can often find ways to fit inside free tiers these days. If this site is just static files you could use similarly use netlify (100GB/month free). Or you could use a free tier VPS from GCP/AWS and cloudflare to cache traffic (to keep you under the free tier bandwidth limits). Or so on.
- yingw787 6y agoYup, CDNs and object stores are a dime a dozen these days. If one's too expensive or unreliable just move on to the next one. I believe this free tier doesn't run out after 12 months either.
