Very interesting. I hadn’t thought about using CloudFront realtime logs as a data source. My one concern here for low throughput websites is the Kinesis Stream - I think that’s actually $.04 / hour, so just under $30 / month, no?

No, it’s using provisioned mode for $0.015/hour * 24 * 30 = $10.80/month. I‘m running this in my account since about a year, and the total costs are $11-12/month. Mileage may very, as it’s usage-based.

Oh, provisioned mode, of course! Yeah, that makes things much more reasonable. At some point I’d pondered with doing something similar but using a CloudFront@Edge function or equivalent to post directly to Firehose. But your architecture looks nice.
