Stop paying for nginx containers to serve static files. Here's the complete S3 + CloudFront setup with automated CI/CD — costs under $2/month. Your React app is a collection of static files after npm run build. HTML. JavaScript. CSS. Images. Serving static files from a Docker container on ECS is paying a chef to microwave leftovers. S3 + CloudFront costs less than a coffee per month, serves files from 400+ global edge locations, and scales to millions of requests automatically. Here's the complete setup — S3 bucket, CloudFront distribution, CodePipeline CI/CD — so every push to main automatically builds and deploys your Vite app in under 3 minutes. Why Not a Container? ECS + nginx container: EC2 instance : ~$15/month ALB (for HTTPS) : ~$16/month Total : ~$31/month Regions served : 1 S3 + CloudFront: S3 storage : ~$0.12/month CloudFront : ~$0.88/month Total : ~$1/month Regions served : 400+ edge locations worldwide The only case for containerising React: you're using Next.js with server-side rendering.…
