I am so glad I can read something like this in public.
When I say stuff like this in job interviews, I get eye rolls and don't end up getting a job.
The industry is so far up its ass lately, no one even dare stating the facts in public. /rant

As a former sysadmin, the less actual admin I need to do the better.
Wait, you’re self hosting multiple apps on one system, and not using K8?!? Your apps can’t autoscale or do blue/green upgrades or any of the cool stuff you are now mandated to do by the cargo cult. How do you sleep at night??

This is ultimately what drives me insane about the tech sector: so many choices are trend based and cult like when any sort of technical discipline shouldn't be.
My website used to be in an S3 bucket, I was unhappy with it.
My personal website is low-traffic, it’s not going to be very hot in any CDN caches. Based on my experiences with S3 performance, adding another layer of cache misses in front of it is probably just going to slow things down.
The suggestion was more for the HTTPS part and not the performance part of your complaint. It's simple enough to set up, pay-as-you-go, only requires one vendor, and should be very scalable.
I'd just as soon throw up nginx on a Linode, myself.
The next time I have to copy/paste the same utility to a new microservice because [insert corporate reason] I’m going to scream.

When I stare at docker long enough I wind up at "why couldn't this be a static binary" or "this would be easier to secure if it was it's own VM".
A static binary is much better than a Docker container, I agree. Unfortunately a lot of useful apps can't or won't ship as a static binary (Java, Python, PHP apps), and Docker makes them behave much more like a static binary.
Same applies to Python bundlers like py2exe.
