Anyone using cloudfront + S3 to host their site? Building my own analytics dashboard now...

I host most my front end site using cloudfront + s3. I was hunting for a good analytics tool for this setup. I don't want to use cookies. I did my own research and I am aware that:

  • S3Stats is a option, but 10$/mo is too much for me.

  • Matomo self hosting is free but needs a server ($10+ for aws instance and also breaks my serverless idea.)

I actually start building my own dashboard now and wondering if there are others need it. If yes, plan to do a build-in-public to gather good ideas on that to make it useful.

What's (low budget) project stack do you use?

I just started solo dev last year and have been trying to keep all early prototype projects low budget. I personally build in a serverless way on @AWS and pay only for what I use (<$1 per month). I'm curious what do you all use for low-budget development? Maybe I can find even cheaper build stack from you guys lol :)

How to keep the product visible after launch day?

Hi PH community! I am wondering does the non-top-ranked product still get visibility after the launch day? Seems to me if product is not top ranked, it will be buried and not easily findable in the future. I recently launched "flippos.xyz", a digital greeting card maker and more. Its my first full stack project and I am truly grateful about all the upvotes, no matter how many, as it's my personal milestone and any supports on that mean HUGE to me.
