> Sure, your service will go down if you get too much traffic, but that's a risk I'm happier with than a potentially unbounded AWS bill. The last time an article on my site reached the top of HN, my AWS bill was a couple of dollars for the month, across S3, Cloudfront, Athena and SNS. I get the concern that you'll spend more than you intended with AWS, but it's honestly hard to blow a budget on a static site hosted in S3 and served by Cloudfront. Those two services have heavy guard rails on what you can accidentally commit to doing, unlike the myriad compute services.
