Switch Deployments to use GitHub Pages #171

Closed tgxn closed 6 months ago

Currently, deployments are handles by AWS CDK and deployed into AWS CloudFront distributions.

There are a couple reasons why GitHub pages might be better:

Faster deploy times
No paying to AWS services
Easy deployment pipelines via GitHub
Free hosting/storage for data...

Cons:

Is it slower to load/not distributed?
Do they support having thousands of JSON files for site-data?
Can we have multiple deployments for develop/production on different URL's?

Not possible to host multiple pages on a single repo: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/21582#discussioncomment-3233768

currently I only have the Data page on github, which seems to work well... Need to monitor costs, as AWS is getting to around $50/mo
