This RFC outlines the proposal for the development of a tiny website or URL shortener. The purpose of this document is to gather feedback and approval from stakeholders before proceeding with the development.
2. Objectives
The objectives of the tiny site are as follows:
Create a user-friendly web application to generate short URLs for long and complex ones, facilitating easy sharing and improved memorability.
Enable users to track and analyze URL statistics, including access frequency and timestamps of accesses.
Provide customization options, such as adding aliases to URLs and configuring URL properties (e.g., alias length, validity period, updates, deletion).
Deliver a scalable and highly available service with low latency and high throughput.
3. Scope
The tiny site will encompass the following features:
[ ] User registration and authentication.
[ ] User-friendly UI for URL shortening.
[ ] Generation of unique short URLs to prevent repetition.
[ ] High availability and scalability for seamless usage.
[ ] Low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure for optimal performance.
[ ] User customization of short URLs:
[ ] Setting the length of the alias.
[ ] Defining the validity period for the short URL.
[ ] Updating the original URL associated with a short URL.
[ ] Deleting a short URL.
[ ] URL statistics tracking, including:
[ ] Access count for each short URL.
[ ] Timestamp of each access.
[ ] Displaying a list of all created short URLs.
4. Requirements
The following requirements are identified for the tiny site:
API Design: Develop a well-documented API for URL shortening and management.
Database: Implement a robust database to store short URLs, user configurations, and statistics.
Frontend Tech Stack: Utilize modern frontend technologies to create an intuitive user interface.
Backend Tech Stack: Select appropriate backend technologies for the URL shortening logic and user management.
Hosting Environment: Deploy the tiny site in a suitable hosting environment ensuring scalability and reliability.
