In 2017, NASA launched a content library called the &#8220;NASA Image and Video Library,&#8221; which allows users to search, view, and download various multimedia content from NASA. However, creating such a platform posed several technical challenges for the development teams, one of which was managing the queue of media processing tasks.<\/p><p>To address this challenge, NASA turned to the Amazon SQS service. This allowed them to decouple media processing tasks from the main queue, reducing the load on their servers and improving system performance.<\/p><p>In addition to <strong>Amazon SQS, NASA<\/strong> also utilized other Amazon services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/aws-ec2-how-to-use-amazons-tool\">Amazon S3 for file storage, Amazon EC2<\/a>, RDS, and DynamoDB.
