Overview of My Submission
It's an imitation of Url Shortener Service.
Only functional requirements are considered while developing this project i.e to generate short url and redirect short url to original url.
In case url got expired/moved to other domain/not responsding, a 404 error page is shown.
Redis is used as primary as well as caching database here.
Some analytics and expression values(like,star,thumbs up etc...) are permanently stored in database while urls are short lived.

Overview video
Here's a short video that explains the project and how it uses Redis:
How it works
How the data is stored:
- Urls.
- It maps the long_url with short_url.
- short_url is base62 value of counter and is indexed.
- Expiration of 30 mins is set.
- Data is stored as
class Url extends Entity { }
const urlSchema = new Schema(Url, {
long_url: { type: 'string' }
