How do I host a production site for free on AWS and Cloudflare?

Bypass Route 53 with Cloudflare DNS, Lambda + API Gateway backend, S3 + CloudFront frontend. Keep S3 private via OAC. Generate regional certs.

Does AWS free tier work for real production traffic?

Yes—for starters. Lambda's 1M requests/month free. S3 egress via CloudFront stays cheap. Scales till you hit limits, then optimize.

What's the catch with free AWS Cloudflare hosting?

Quirks like cert regions and proxy conflicts. But debuggable. No vendor lock beyond AWS ecosystem.
