I disagree. It's not "obsolete", it's just a different option with its own pros and cons.


Perhaps not obsolete, but there is no sense in paying for a VM for a static site when things like Cloudflare Pages will do this for free.


Also if the "value" here is "run a static web site without a lot of pain" services like Cloudflare pages, Netlify, AWS amplify are 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 less effort and hassle than a static server like nginx when you consider SSL certificates and all that.
