I’d note each of what you mentioned cost $0 at zero scale and nominal $ at small scale. But you’re right, engineers new to aws try to flex all the kit together

I’d note each of what you mentioned cost $0 at zero scale and nominal $ at small scale. But you’re right, engineers new to aws try to flex all the kit together for not much benefit. For a semi static website all you need is s3+cloud front+api gateway+lambda+dynomdb for state. This would cost you basically $0 for small scale, and there would be nothing to monitor. It either works or aws is down.
