Your server IS affected. But static routes can be cached, and traffic to a server cache can be freaking huge before it affects you. Also, you can get cloud flare or some other external service to handle that cache, and they can handle Super Bowl amounts of traffic.
Even with HN traffic, you'll be lucky to get shot down. I've run my product (www.blankpage.io) on the smallest Heroku dynamo running Expressjs and I've never been shot down. Despite being first on product hunt etc.
I'll try to make it first. I'm overthinking a lot. If it crashes, then I might change the process or I'll ping you then for advice. For now, I'll be making my /blog route a static page running Gatsby & /apps will contain all my apps. The problem is I don't want to buy 100 domains if I make that many one-of apps. So I'm making one /apps route which will incorporate all my apps each serving a different dynamic page. Lets see how this goes.
