We built a website for a film festival using a static site generator, deploying to AWS S3 + CloudFront Content Delivery Network. A few months later, the client asked about shutting it down to save money. Turns out it cost $0.05 for the month it was active, and $0.01 in the previous month.

  It was a new AWS account for the client, which includes 50gb of CloudFront as part of the AWS Free Tier, so I guess it used that. I didn’t look into it a lot. As I joked with the client, it is cheaper to leave it running than pay us to turn it off.
