S3 + cloudfront + lambda is costing me pennies per month for a trivial site. What are the free alternatives that beat it?

Requirements:

- rsync style publishing

- not supported by tracking users.

- raw static file hosting (including html)

- redirect foo.com/bar to foo.com/bar/index.html (this is why I need lambda...)

- zero admin https certificate management

GitHub pages gives you all this except the redirect and replace rclone with…git and is free (although evil Microsoft blah blah)
