shur.click
Production-ready URL shortener with fast redirects, analytics, and secure link management.
Overview
shur.click is a full-stack URL shortener designed for high-read traffic and low-latency redirects. It supports short-link creation, redirect resolution, basic analytics, and secure management workflows while keeping the product experience simple for end users.
The project focuses on systems design trade-offs: using Redis for fast redirect lookups, PostgreSQL for durable metadata and analytics, and Spring Boot APIs that separate redirect read paths from analytics write paths.
