URLJammer

URL shortener using the Jamstack concept

Roadmap

Create an URL shortening service that accepts a target URL and returns a shortened URL.
- module to interact with the filesystem to create directories and files and encapsulate it with a feature flag
Setup Axum server that serves static page and also exposes an API to shorten URL.
- Encapsulate serving static pages with a feature flag
Build a frontend to consume the API and test it locally
Create an optional module that would replace the fileIO with AWS S3 interactions.
Add JS code to collect the geolocation of the User along with basic metrics and accept them via an API (like a boomerang)
- The collected metrics would be stored in a metrics-data file in the respective folders.
Add a spawned task to fetch the page and spawn another 2 layer of tasks to take a screenshot of the page and another task to generate AI summary using AI.
- The generated content would be stored along with the metrics-data file in the respective folders.
- The Filesystem interactions should be replacable with a cloud storage interaction.
- Add sections the redirect page to display the content.
Split the above monolith into 3 services,
- 1. Service to generate shortened URL and write to a cloud storage like AWS S3. (Since we would be using 3rd party AI service, it can be handled here )
- 1. The static file rendering would be done through the cloud storage with a CDN front (AWS Cloudfront)
- 1. Another serparate service to generate screenshot and store the same in cloud storage.
