Secure and minimal URL shortener with user auth and analytics.
Shortly is a modern and privacy-conscious URL shortener built with Next.js 15 and Golang (Gin). It offers secure user authentication, custom shortlink management and real-time click analytics.
The frontend is crafted using ShadCN UI and Tailwind CSS, ensuring a fast and responsive interface. PostgreSQL stores user and link data, while Redis (Upstash) is used for blazing-fast slug-based redirects and efficient rate-limiting.
Key features include:
- JWT-based user authentication
- Custom shortlink creation, editing, and deletion
- Expiration time setting for each short URL
- Rate-limiting to prevent abuse (powered by Redis Upstash)
- Ultra-fast slug redirects using Redis caching
- Session & cookie support
- Clean and responsive design with ShadCN components
