Well, if you're serving reasonable amounts of text and not including a javascript kitchen sink. I mean yes, you probably should be serving library off an edge network, but I've seen stranger.

Then that goes out the window the moment you have any media on that Pi... ISP upload speed in the US is balls.

Oh, did I mention that most ISPs in the US don't allow hosting websites? So are you putting that Pi in a datacenter?

And, I forgot to mention, what happens with you piss off some bored troll and get DDOSed?

None of what you mentioned related to "traffic to a blog post from HN front page". I am just saying "traffic from HN front page" is a poor example of things that need "scale up".

Not disagreeing all the challenges you mentioned. Just "traffic from HN front page" is so easy it is a poor example.

TIL it's against Verizon's ToS to host a website on a residential account. Ah well, I guess I'll continue to roll the dice.
