Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?

Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?

Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?

Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
