From an interview with the developer:

> put Cloudflare in front of my website; then more recently, we migrated the hosting to Amazon S3, which can scale indefinitely as long as I’m happy to pay for it.

...

> it does cost me a bit to keep the servers up to run Wordle

It shouldn’t… It would be free on github pages, netlify, and others. Cloudflare should make anywhere else effectively free, as well. It’s likely a decision to reuse whatever existing hosting/deploy strategy he uses for the rest of his site or just apathy towards spending however much is being spent.


Cloudflare Pages (their Netlifly / Vercel competitor) offers unlimited free bandwidth. Wonder why he switched to AWS?
