A good fit for
- Teams already building on AWS who want integrated hosting and backend services
- Full-stack web and mobile apps needing CI/CD, hosting and backend integration in one platform
- Apps using server-side rendering that want metered, pay-as-you-go SSR pricing
- Projects that can take advantage of the 12-month AWS Free Tier allowances
Not a good fit for
- Teams wanting the simplest possible flat-rate hosting pricing rather than several separately metered components
- Projects outside the AWS ecosystem that don't need integration with other AWS services
- Very high-traffic sites where per-GB data transfer costs can add up compared to some flat-rate hosting platforms
