As a project for learning, it seems very interesting. For production workloads, this doesn't seem like an efficient architecture.

Personally, I tend to stay away from EC2 as much as I can. You can probably run 80-90% of workloads on AWS Lambda nowadays. Looking superficially at your idea, I don't see a reason why you couldn't go Serverless. I would also use AWS API Gateway to interface HTTP requests with Lambda. That would be my primary choice.

I don't know if it would be possible, but maybe you can use API Gateway as a proxy to the Github API directly. You can transform incoming requests to match Github specs, and also customize responses to the clients commenting.
