URL Minifier

Choose your favorite web technology to develop an URL shortener.

Backend

The backend should be able to perform the following actions :

  • Submit an URL to be shortened and store them in a persistent storage
  • GET on shortened URLS will redirect to the original URL (301 redirection)
  • Get shortened URLs list (this should be protected by a basic auth)
  • Get stats (number of visits) for a shortened URL

The design should follow the REST API principle.

Frontend

The app should have the following pages :

  • a page with a form that take an URL and return a shorten URL
  • an admin page protected by a basic auth that will list shortened URLs and associated targeted links and number of visits.

Restitution

When done, send us a Git repo URL and the URL of the application.

Criteria

You should design this app as you used to do in your daily job. We appreciate :

  • documentation explaining the different technical choices
  • decent errors management
  • good testing coverage (choose tests that are appropriate for the exercise : end to end, unit tests, API tests...).
  • a repo ready to be deployed on Heroku or via Docker
