This repository contains a Golang implementation of a URL shortener that uses Redis as its database for storing URLs. The project is designed to provide a simple and efficient solution for shortening URLs and managing their corresponding redirects.
- Golang: The application is written in Go, providing a fast and reliable solution for URL shortening and management.
- Redis: The Redis database is used for storing URLs and their corresponding redirects, allowing for efficient and scalable storage.
- Short UUIDs: The system generates short UUIDs for each shortened URL, ensuring uniqueness and simplicity.
- Redirect Management: The application handles redirects efficiently, ensuring that users are redirected to the correct destination when they access a shortened URL.
- Clone the repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/99pouria/url-shortener.git. - Install the required dependencies, such as Redis.
- Run the application:
go run cmd/url_shortener/main.go.
To use the URL shortener, simply enter the long URL you want to shorten in the provided input field, and the application will generate a short URL for you. Once you have the short URL, you can use it to access the original content.
We welcome contributions and suggestions to improve the URL shortener. Please submit your ideas or code changes through a pull request.
