CloudFront

CloudFront solves one of the biggest problems that low traffic websites experience when a spike in visits happens: it provides a cache in a way that makes us wonder whether AWS is the one that serves the data and not our server. Basically, CloudFront intercepts the request to our host, renders the page, and keeps it for up to 24 hours so our site offloads the traffic to AWS. It is designed for serving static content, as the second time that the user hits the same URL, the cached version will be served instead of hitting your server again.

It is highly recommended that you use CloudFront for the brochure site of your company so that you can serve all the traffic with a very small machine, saving some money in resources but also being able to improve your uptime when a traffic spike hits your site.
