About The Project

Shortlink App in Golang

• Multiple Node based Architecture to create and scale at ease
• Highly performant key-value storage system
• Centralized Storage option when multiple node created - requires tweaking.
• API auth system not built. Left for using it for your own use case like JWT or paseto. Self Implement.

Please see the architecture file in the repository on option you can use the app. For some minor tweaking may be required.

Getting Started

Just download and run go run main.go and you are ready to go. To deploy to server, prefer DigitalOcean

Steps

Common Steps to Launch:

go mod tidy
go mod vendor
go run main.go OR go build -ldflags "-s -w" main.go && ./main

Must Changeable Variables in constant.go:

Production      = 2 // Please set to 1 if in production.
Domain          = "https://lin.ks/"
CookieName      = "lin.ks"
NodeID          = "N1|" // Increase per node by value as "N2|", "N3|"... for multiple node
DBFolder        = "/home/ubuntu/go/src/shortlink/db/"
AddFromToken    = 3 // firt N character to get from token and use it in ShortID
ShortIDToken    = 7 // Further added from 1st N char of AddFromToken+NodeID: total=12
APITokenLength  = 32
