Introduction

This is the famous tiny url project where users can get shortUrls for longUrls.

Structure

1. Appserver : POC for users for everything - registering long url and redirecting to long url
2. KeyDb : Offline Service which generates shortUrlIds that AppServer can reuse

Everything is in nodeJs (JS is everywhere :P)

Steps to run:

Start the database(mongo db)

1. brew services start mongodb-community@4.4
2. Make a new table named tinyurl and key-db using mongo client (e.g. use tinyurl)

Start App server

1. cd AppServer
2. npm install
3. npm run dev Will start the server on port 3000

Start KeyDb service

1. cd KeyDb
2. npm install
3. npm run dev Will start the server on port 3001
