For the past several years I've been running a 100% static web application that serves rain radar images. It also updates itself periodically using serverless functions currently running on AWS Lambda, but can easily run anywhere else.
This is a very stable architecture for such websites and it's great to see it being widely adopted.
I've written more details about the Rain Radar application in this blog post: https://yuv.al/blog/an-architecture-for-periodically-updating-static-websites/ https://yuv.al/blog/an-architecture-for-periodically-updatin...
- Gormisdomai 6y agoThis is very cool! What was the overall cost of running the rest of the infrastructure (beyond just the Lambda bit)?
- yuvadam 6y agoThanks! The only other costs are the storage of the radar images themselves on S3, last time I checked I store around $1.5's worth of images per month. No real reason to archive them in the long term, but one day I might start training some neural network on those images :)
- cheez 6y agoI recently turned years of data into $$$. Keep archiving it.
- Scoundreller 6y agoStory time?
- yuvadam 6y agoTotally story time
- akulbe 6y agoYes, please. Do tell.
- cheez 6y agoNot too dissimilar to what OP was talking about
