A simple webapp, tinyurl-alike, built with Spring Boot.

http://clipapp.herokuapp.com

• http://clipapp.herokuapp.com/{TINY_URL}: redirects to the original URL if existing, otherwise redirects to the web ui.

• http://clipapp.herokuapp.com/{TINY_URL}: outputs the original URL if existing, otherwise throws an error.

{
  "url": "https://www.google.ca"
}

• http://clipapp.herokuapp.com/?u={LONG_URL}: outputs a tiny URL. If already available in the system, it gives the already associated tiny URL. If long URL malformed, throws an error.

}

• jdk8+
• maven
• postgresql 10.x, with database clipapp created (optional, for data persistance: use Spring profile database)
• redis (optional, for caching: use Spring profile redis-caching)

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=<profiles>

where <profiles> can be:

1. simple: everything in memory
2. database: uses postgresql for storage
3. redis-caching: uses redis for caching
4. database,redis-caching: 2+3

refer to project's application.yml for default settings, or override them.

because why not.

mvn install
docker run --name clipapp -p 8080:8080 -e SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=<profiles> clipapp:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
