In a streaming platform, caching is important. We have to be able to cache as much static media content as possible to improve user experience. We can use solutions like Redis or Memcached but what kind of cache eviction policy would best fit our needs?

Amazon SQS Landing Page

Amazon SQS

Amazon Simple Queue Service is a fully managed message queuing service.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Processing videos as a long-running task makes much more sense, and a message queue also decouples our video processing pipeline from the uploads functionality. We can use something like Amazon SQS or RabbitMQ to support this.

Amazon S3 Landing Page

Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is an object storage where users can store data from their business on a safe, cloud-based platform. Amazon S3 operates in 54 availability zones within 18 graphic regions and 1 local region.

This allows us to fetch the desired quality of the video as per the user's request, and once the media file finishes processing, it will be uploaded to a distributed file storage such as HDFS, GlusterFS, or an object storage such as Amazon S3 for later retrieval during streaming.
