A horizontally scalable URL shortener designed for low-latency redirection.

Key Highlights

  • Sustained peak throughput of 11,600 RPS on a single AWS t3.micro instance with zero socket errors
  • Decoupled ID generation into an independent service that asynchronously pre-populates Redis.
  • Dual-layer L1 (in-memory) + L2 (Redis) caching architecture

Stack Go · Redis · k6

A Redis-backed Express rate-limiting middleware written in TypeScript with automatic degraded-mode fallback handling for high-availability environments.

Key Highlights

  • Synchronizes rate limits across distributed instances using atomic Redis operations
  • Handles Redis timeouts or disconnects via customizable fallbacks (local memory tracking or fail-open bypass)
