 how much is heroku costing, is it just domain/A plus content? Tuning something similar atm for ~58c/month in aws 🤷‍♂️

 AWS Lightsail? Heroku is $7/month

$0.58/month sounds great! How do I do that?

 😭 Python sorry, convert to apigw Lambdas and another template for that 👍 I’m running is PWA and apigw for .. now 61c/month, mostly DNS charges so far so plus traffic but it’s sooo cheap

 I see, so it's a static website hosted on AWS S3 server; makes sense why it's so cheap

I've used S3 buckets for file storage, but not for web hosting

It says it's best for websites without server-side scripting; I have some python scripts running server side with each "click to copy" action

Do you think that'll be a problem?

 Yeah sorry I didn’t realise it was Python! Need to run that code as an API via Lambda, give it a static UI - easy if js/ts
