Just using the file system is inadequate for some reasons that TFA mentions. For instance, returning gzip or Brotli compressed versions of resources, or returning HTTP 301/302 redirects for certain requests.

Also if you use CloudFront be aware you'll be paying for bandwidth, so if one of your pieces goes viral (or you're just a popular writer) the cost can be surprisingly high (over $50/mo).

Pretty sure you can stay in free tier without a CC on file though? So assume they’d just deactivate your services if you breach free tier resources for the month..(?)
