Hey, author of the post here!

A website doesn't need a server! You can host your website assets on a CDN and all of it's then loaded without hitting any of your servers.

Our architecture roughly looks like this: - React application hosted on Vercel - AWS API Gateway routes API requests to Lambdas - The Lambdas then read/write data from RDS Postgres, DynamoDB and also maybe publish events to EventBridge. - We have many smaller Lambdas that listen to events happening on EventBridge and do other things, such as sending notifications, etc.

I think if you're able to be build a non-trivial application with microservices then you're also able to build one just on lambdas.
