ElastiCache, enhances the performance of web applications by quickly retrieving information from fully-managed in-memory data stores. It utilizes Memcached and Redis, and manages to considerably reduce the time your applications would, otherwise, take to read data from disk-based databases. Amazon CloudFront supports dynamic content from HTTP and WebSocket protocols, which are based on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) protocol. Common use cases include dynamic API calls, web pages and web applications, as well as an application's static files such as audio and images. It also supports on-demand media streaming over HTTP. AWS Global Accelerator supports both User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and TCP-based protocols. It is commonly used for non-HTTP use cases, such as gaming, IoT and voice over IP. It is also good for HTTP use cases that need static IP addresses or fast regional failover

Migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL - this will let the DB scale on it's own; it'll scale automatically without needing adjustment. Create AMI of the web app and using a launch template - this will make the creating of any future instances of the app seamless. They can then be added to the auto scaling group which will save them money as it will scale up and down based on demand. Using a spot fleet to launch instances- This solves the "MOST cost-effective" portion of the question as spot instances come at a huge discount at the cost of being terminated at any time Amazon deems fit. I think this is why there's a bit of disagreement on this. While it's the most cost effective, it would be a terrible choice if amazon were to terminate that spot instance during a busy period.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic web content, such as HTML pages, images, and videos. By using CloudFront, the HTML pages will be served to users from the edge location that is closest to them, resulting in faster delivery and a better user experience. CloudFront can also handle the high traffic and large number of requests expected for the global event, ensuring that the HTML pages are available and accessible to users around the world.

You can use CloudFront to deliver video on demand (VOD) or live streaming video using any HTTP origin.
