Can S3 static website hosting run backend code?
No, Amazon S3 static website hosting cannot run any backend server-side code.
S3 is strictly a storage service, not a compute service. It acts like a simple file delivery system: when a browser requests a page, S3 just hands over the raw files (.html, .css, .js, images). It has no server environment, engine, or runtime to execute code before sending it to the user.
