Choosing The Best AWS Service For Your Website + API
summary
Compares 10 services (EC2, Lightsail, Elastic Beanstalk, ECS, EKS, App Runner, Fargate, Lambda, Amplify, S3) and shows concrete tradeoffs: ~$5/mo Lightsail for fixed capacity with no autoscale, EC2 for full OS control, Elastic Beanstalk/ECS/EKS for managed servers or orchestration, Lambda ~free for 10k MAU but has cold starts, S3 5,500 GETs/s limit for static sites, App Runner builds from Git, Amplify bundles auth, and Fargate runs containers serverlessly.
