Short-linker (Docker version)

URL shortener python server. The server have an endpoint that gets the long URL and returns a short URL.

In addition, this project deals with:

SQLite

Local database to save short-links in

Redis

Cache, to reduce the load. Removes the less recently used keys when the max memory limit (100 MB) is reached

RabbitMQ

For every new URL, produces a message rabbitmq. Then, the consumer sends mail to server admin

Usage example:

x = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:4321',
json={'url': 'https://thatscool/veryveryverylongurl'})

# x = 127.0.0.1:4321/(hashed-shortlink-key)

• Support for browsing the short URLs. The server redirect the user to the real URL.

Separated containers (works via Docker Compose):

• Python server container (web-slink)
• Database container (db-slink)
• Cache container [redis] (cache-slink)
• Message producer container [rabbitmq] (msg-p-slink)
• Message consumer container [rabbitmq] (msg-c-slink)
