url-shortener

A minimalistic url-shortener using PostgreSQL.

Background

This is one of the first JS projects I finished. Around two years later I wanted to experiment with AWS RDS and this project was still using a hacky filesystem persistency solution. Now, it uses PostgreSQL as database, in my case hosted at AWS, but any instance will suffice.

To run, simply supply node with environment variables pointing at your PostgreSQL instance, or by using dotenv. Then, simply run the server: node src. By default, the url shortener is exposed on port 3000.
