  1. MySQL is available to RDS users, so you can do that. So from your back-end you can easily connect to that.
  2. Your back-end( rest api ) can be on EC2. From the code you can always connect to you RDS database just like any other database. you will get host , username and password for RDS.
  3. Use S3 bucket to save images/videos. You can then you simple S3 api to save and retrieve your images. Files are stored with a unique Id to S3 bucket which makes them easy to access.

Every thing from above is available in aws free tier account
