That was my experience with a spikey server that I had behind an ELB. It was better to just eat it and run a medium server all the time behind a CDN than to try to scale up and down from small to large when a traffic spike came. The scaling isn’t worth the effort.

And we have had problems with large uploads and downloads, because the smaller instances can't handle them as easily. I am not convinced it was a wise choice, but it was made before I started.
