Simple URL shortener using Python and redis
pip install redis requests flask flask-restful
Can be modeled with a microservices approach such that the shortener generates tokens which are permutations of characters periodically depending on the number of URLs added to the redis keystore.
Start with python run.py
/api/shorturl/new
