# Static Website on AWS

---

For a static website, using a backend server like NodeJs is a waste of valuable compute resources. Speed and performance are critical for good SEO and user experience.

To save on compute resources and cost, Deployment uses a combination of <code>S3 bucket</code> and <code>Cloudfront</code> to deploy a static website to your AWS cloud.

The deployed static website is highly performant, scalable, and cost-effective.
