I host DreamDaddy on Cloudflare Pages (like S3), and use a Cloudflare Worker (like a lambda) to email myself contact submissions. Cloudflare is free and "just works" -- I have not liked my hodge-podge experiences with AWS, especially for simple projects.

I've also found that people are generally pretty happy to schedule short meetings. I've personally had a very good experience with calendly! I've posted my schedule as an example below. Feel free to say hello :)

That's informative, thank you. I didn't know about Cloudflare Workers or how relatively turn-key they are compared to Lambda.

I really can't say enough good things about Cloudflare's ecosystem!

Specifically with workers, you can send unlimited emails for free, which is great for plugging into your existing workflows.

Another nice thing about Workers is that they can sit in your codebase as JS files alongside your front-end code and auto-deploy when you push changes to Github/Gitlab/etc.
