lambda functions are arguably a lot simpler and easier to toss in the static site mix than a server properly configured for cgi.

you are definitively not on shared hosting webspace, are you?

What is your baseline and how is that simpler?

These kinds of static sites are generally served from a shared host like GitHub Pages, Netlify, etc. The baseline is configuring Jeykyll or whatever the first time.

imo lambda/serverless can get overdone and too complicated but it works well for one-off services like this.

ah - I would never have thought of putting something that invites comments on a web space with TOS of e.g. github.

You want a custom domain anyway, don't you? The space won't be an issue then, is it?
