2022 and we still have to see WordPress Database Errors.

2022 and we have so many options for free/cheap tiers on so many platforms which provide so many ways for people to share content and express themselves to the world. With just one pain point that a spike in traffic can overwhelm your database limits. Seems like wonderful problem for us all to have.

Yes you are totally right. I just make a 2G SWAP, now the site is back, haha. I thought the site was under attack... @@

2022 and developers still use Wordpress for what could be a static blog site

And pay for Wordpress sites too! I have a static Next.js site hosted on S3 and I don't pay anything to host it.

Exactly, it’s really sad people opt for Wordpress over that

Most hosting providers offer a 1-click install of Wordpress, and you can begin creating content immediately after, with a WYSIWYG editor.

How to start a blog with your stack? Do I need an AWS account just for the s3 bucket? Do I need to know javascript? Is there a visual editor?

How do I explain the whole process to my non-tech friend, who can start a Wordpress blog in 5 minutes on most hosting providers?

It's not as easy at it seems (quote dropbox comment).
