What AWS service I can use to host website code

Question

What AWS service can I use to host my website code? The code is using react, redux, and Nodejs.  I'm looking for the cheapest service because the website is for a non-profit organization. The code is residing in Github as of today, I would love to CICD from there. I have bought a domain from Route 53. But, before now, I was using Heroku to launch the app. My end goal is, when a user hit the domain name, I want to launch the app. Thank you!

Answer

CloudFront and S3 could be used to host the front end, and EC2 or ECS could be used for the back end.  
If you have members who are good with containers, using ECS on Fargate, for example, will make management a little easier because it will eliminate the need for OS maintenance.

In addition, if only static content is used, it is possible to function as a website with only CloudFront and S3 configuration.

Also, the following document may be helpful for CI/CD to S3.

Hi Samson,

* For hosting as mentioned above you can use CloudFront and s3 for React. To seamlessly hook it into a CI/CD pipeline you can also look into Amplify, some references here (https://workshops.aws/categories/Front%20End) and here (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/complete-guide-to-full-stack-ci-cd-workflows-with-aws-amplify/).

* For Node you can use EC2,Elastic Beanstalk, ECS Fargate, AppRunner or even Lambda function
