We use SST to deploy to AWS. peterportal.org points to a cloudfront distribution which serves our site out of an s3 bucket. The distribution also has an additional behavior set up to forward requests to /api/* to a lambda function with our backend. There are some other intricacies needed to make this work properly (forwarding host header, encoding query string); see more in #442

Note: if you ever intend to update sst and/or aws cdk dependencies, use pnpm sst update so that the version of aws cdk we use isn't mismatched with the version SST uses internally.
