@wez Astro is built on top of Vite, and they also have this page: https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/aws/
However my AWS experience is light so I can't comment on how great fit it is. But at least Astro is a more open alternative to Next as it doesn't force feed React, you can instead use and even mix'n'match whatever frontend libraries you like.
@nickthefox https://www.openvim.com is a good resource to start.
Keep practising and using vim and you’ll soon pick it up.
