You self-host an instance in AWS. It's\ndesigned for websites which run without their own server, like a statically generated website (Hugo, Jekyll) served on\n[GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/). You can install it in just a few minutes.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e👉\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"https://boyl.es/\"\u003eTry it out on my blog\u003ca\u003e 👈\u003c/p\u003e\n\nComments support [markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown), including lists, code blocks and images.\n\nA serverless architecture allows you to pay only for what you use. For a small or medium-sized blog with a relatively low number of\nvisitors, that's likely to be much more cost-effective than a subscription and can even be free.\n\n### 💿 Installation\n\n*Flamewars is currently in pre-release so there are no published packages.* When there are, the full setup takes just a couple of minutes.\n \n1. [Set up the backend](https://github.com/michaelboyles/flamewars/wiki/AWS-Installation-Instructions)\n2. [Set up the frontend](https://github.com/michaelboyles/flamewars/wiki/Client-Setup)\n\n### 💵 Cost\n\nMost services are available on the AWS free tier, meaning that for any reasonable usage you won't pay anything for them.\n\n - API Gateway\n - DynamoDB - free tier (always free up to 25GB, 200M requests per month)\n - Lambda - free tier (always free up to 1M invocations per month)\n - S3 - few cents per GB, code uses less than 1MB. Free for the first year\n - CloudFormation - free\n\nAlthough some of the services here are not on the free tier, AWS will waive charges below a certain value as it's not worth them\ncollecting such small amounts. If your bill totals a few cents then you will pay nothing at all.\n\nIt is always worth [setting billing alarms and budgets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/checklistforunwantedcharges.html)\nto ensure you don't run into any nasty surprises.\n\n### 🌐 Alternatives\n \nHere are some alternative projects which may work for you. For various reasons, I preferred not to use them.\n\n - [Disqus](https://disqus.com/): ad-supported or fixed monthly subscription\n - [Commento](https://commento.io/): subscription, or requires a server running 24/7\n - [Utterances](https://github.com/utterance/utterances): commenters require GitHub and must authorize the app\n - [Lambda Comments](https://github.com/jimpick/lambda-comments): not maintained, lacks features, difficult installation\n - [ISSO](https://posativ.org/isso/docs/install/): requires a server\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmichaelboyles%2Fflamewars","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmichaelboyles%2Fflamewars","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmichaelboyles%2Fflamewars/lists"}
