- Node.js
- MongoDB
A backend service created for shortening URLs using NodeJS and MongoDB. It's designed for educational purposes. When a user enters a long URL, the service creates a unique identifier (shortID) and stores it along with the original URL in a MongoDB database. It then responds with the shortID, which can be used to access the original URL. When a user enters a shortID in their browser, the service retrieves the corresponding long URL from the database and redirects the user to that address. The service can track usage data like visit history and number of clicks for each shortened URL. 🌐
Highlights:
- Simplified URL Shortening Architecture
- Custom URL Generation
- URL Redirects
- Analytics for URLs Generated
