    It can be achieved using Route53, providing high level overview here and pointing to the AWS Documentation

    1. Set static IP of your EC2 instance (Elastic IP)
    2. Configure hosted zones in Route53
    3. Create records in Godaddy

    Full documentation here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-to-ec2-instance.html

    It depend how you want to setup SSL for FrontEnd and Backend

    Ideally for FrontEnd you point your domain to the right port of FE 3002 so that when you open your site http://www.mysite.com then it opens your FE

    For BE, you can use your static IP or the AWS provided host name and to setup SSL follow this SO post

    Frontend (domain.com and http://www.domain.com)

    Use AWS apmilify to host your static files, it will give you dns record that you can add on godaddy.

    Backend (server.domain.com)

    Put a loadbalancer Infront of your ec2 instance that will handle ssl and it will give you a dns record that you can add on godaddy. Loadbalancer should listen on 80 and 443 ports and can forward to 4000 on ec2 instance.

    please note this is just a quick recommendation just for your use case, there are many better ways to deploy MERN apps.
