Tech stack

Alternative solutions

We could use following short code gen also:

substr(base62(md5(url)), 6) = 62 ^ 6 //unique short urls

Commands

Run

Run docker-compose, it will start api, redis and will expose api port to host.

Sample usage

# Shorten
curl -i http://localhost:9001 -F "url=https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Battlefront-II-Digital/dp/B072JZZ4XD"

# Call shortened url
for ((i=1;i<=100;i++)); do curl -i "http://localhost:9001/SEwuXHhBQw"; done

# Get Stats
curl -i "http://localhost:9001/stats/?url=https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Battlefront-II-Digital/dp/B072JZZ4XD"

# returns: {"callCount":100}
