I recently shipped china-sourcing-agents.com — a B2B sourcing agency site for electronics and IoT hardware. It supports 11 languages, generates dynamic OG images at the edge, has full-text search with zero backend, and accepts leads through a form that emails me directly.

Total monthly infrastructure cost: $0 (all within free tiers).

Here are the things that genuinely surprised me while building it.
