Short URL

Inspiration

Because this is my first hackathon, I decided to build something easy like TinyURL. I believe it is a project asked in sys design interviews for beginner levels, so I decided to build one.

What it does

It takes a url and shortens it. If url is existent was already in my db, then I return it.

How we built it

I build it using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, UV, SQLAlchemy

Challenges we ran into

Working with docker and exception handling
