Hi vikas-12
Thank you for your feedback.
We have a comparison here on the difference between AWS Global Accelerator and Amazon CloudFront.
Which one to choose is depending on the use-case scenario.
Both CloudFront and Global accelerator use an Edge location closest to the user. However, the next step for the request is how they would differ.
CloudFront will inspect the request and check if the request is cached, if it is not, then it will query the Origin server to fetch the response to that request.
Global accelerator on the other hand does not cache anything. Once the request is received, it is immediately sent to the AWS high-speed backbone network going to the server. This is a consistently fast network.
I think the key to this question is stated on “frequently updated” which means there is less caching and more fetching on the server. Therefore, using AWS Global Accelerator to improve latency response, and provide consistently high network performance.
Hope this helps.
