Cloudflare Pages looks like a more productionised version of this, yes.

In terms of advantages, I'd say price, and the maturity of using AWS. I deploy a static site with a GitHub Action (look at my other repo whisky-menu for how to do this) which builds a React app, copies it to S3, and invalidates the CloudFront cache.

Price?... Cloudflare is completely Free, so surely it beats AWS on cost?

You're correct, yes, I didn't realise how generous the free tier is. If you're doing fewer than 500 updates per month, Cloudflare looks good https://pages.cloudflare.com/

Because I have other resources and projects in AWS I'll keep this setup. It's so close to free that cost doesn't bother me.
