uURL URL Shortener using Redis for atomic operations and MongoDB for storing stats. This is a quick proof of concept to use different NoSQL DBs where they belong. Redis is fast and has a lot of atomic operations which can be used as unique ID provider, fast caching and indexing while storing the data. MongoDB is a document oriented DB which provides a rich query language. The same setup can be used to do analytics, just by changing where the shortened URL is created to a gif provider or even a static code provider. It can also acts as a beacon or mail-targeted tracker. It's built over cyclone, which provides async request handling and MongoDB/Redis Twisted based drivers. There are connections pools for both redis and mongodba and they live together pretty good. http://localhost:8888/ - main page http://localhost:8888/<id> - shortened url (redirects) http://localhost:8888/<id>+ - url stats Requires: http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/ http://github.com/fiorix/mongo-async-python-driver http://github.com/fiorix/cyclone http://github.com/fiorix/txredisapi - Install everything, and run as python urlshortener.py - Point your browser to http://localhost:8888, enter an url to be shortened - give it some access - check stats page (the same shortened URL with a + sign at the end) - profit !
