Deploying a single-page application

The cloud-native light bulb first turned on in my head when I realized I could deploy a single page application, such as Angular, to an S3 bucket and serve it up globally with no need for servers and load balancers whatsoever. This was my first cloud-native Wow! moment. It was the moment when I began to understand that cloud-native plays by an entirely different set of rules. The combination of S3 and a JavaScript-based UI delivers a web presentation tier with virtually limitless scalability, virtually no cost, and essentially no operation headaches. This recipe demonstrates how straightforward it is to deploy a single-page application.
