**Requirement Gathering:** 1: A user must be able to put a URL in the specific textbox and then see shortened link. 2: A user must be able to put the shortened link in the address bar and then redirect to original URL. **Design:** 1. Application one in the microservice point of view: We generate a hash or a random base64 base on the entered URL then add it as a key and the URL as the value of Redis. 1. Application two in the microservice point of view: We find a hash or random key in the Redis and get the original URL name from that database. after finding the original URL the page will be redirected to the original URL automatically. tips: we can use Docker containers for creating these two applications.

I've created a design model of the application and the connections existing between them.

I've read in some articles that Microservices have an extra API named Gateway API but I've chosen not to complicate the software in the first step.

We should have a service for handling our redis requests too.
