How to: Media streaming and storage
As most of our storage space will be used for storing media files such as thumbnails and videos. Per our discussion earlier, the media service will be handling both the upload and processing of media files.

We will use distributed file storage such as [HDFS](https://karanpratapsingh.com/courses/system-design/storage#hdfs), [GlusterFS](https://www.gluster.org), or an [object storage](https://karanpratapsingh.com/courses/system-design/storage#object-storage) such as [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3) for storage and streaming of the content.
