Hex As a Service

  • This is a basic URL shortener.
  • It caps at 62^4 URLs and does not check for collision.
  • The URL is stored in a KV store indexed by the slug.
  • Permanent redirect caches locally the long url for subsequent visits.
  • Logging is kept to exclusively meta-data about requests.
  • Served static HTML to allow for easy shortening.
