Bitly Clone with Next.js 13 and Go

Overview

This project is a simplified Bitly clone that uses Next.js 13 for the frontend and Go for the backend API. The application allows users to shorten long URLs and provides a mechanism to redirect users to the original URL when they access the shortened link.

Technologies Used

  • Frontend: Next.js 13, React
  • Backend: Go
  • Database: MySQL
