I recommend using AWS Amplify if you need to stay within AWS.

The full product can be compared to Google Firebase but the Amplify Console specifically offers features similar to Netlify on top of standard AWS services (S3/CF/Codebuild).

I find it a much better experience than manually setting up S3/CF websites because of the out-of-the-box features that simply wouldn't happen otherwise for a static site like:

- instant cache invalidation

- branch deployments (with password protection & rollbacks)

- deployment process only deploys modified files

- simple custom headers

- simple redirects (redirecting individual assets in Cloudfront is not easy)
