Overview of My Submission
I've built Simple URL Shorten-er. It's pretty simple and uses a simple data structure. I use URL Shorten-er quite often and want to try building the simple one! I tried to extract the small requirement for the shortener and design the database structure. I implemented using .NET which is the programing language that is familiar to me. I was using RedisInsight and Redis Stack to help me during the development phase. It's awesome experience when building an app using Redis!

Overview video
Here's a short video that explains the project and how it uses Redis:
How it works
How the data is stored:
The data is stored as JSON values and only has a single structure.
-
Each JSON values have properties:
- Id : Generated id, used for the key too.
- ShortenUrl: The shorten URL, will be used to find the original URL. (Indexed)
- OriginalUrl: The original URL, will be used to redirect the pages.
- CreatedBy: To know the creator, will allow editing for entries that are created by authenticated users. (Indexed)
- VisitedCounter: To know how many "clicks" or visited the shortened url.
The key is generated ShortenUrl.Models.Urls:{urlId}.
Also generate index "FT.CREATE" "Urls"…
