How It Works

1

Click

Someone clicks your short link.

2

Instant Lookup

In-memory cache finds the destination in microseconds.

3

Redirect

You're there before you notice.

Three-Layer Cache Architecture

L1 — In-Process Cache

Sub-microsecond. Server-assisted client-side cache powered by rueidis, stored in application memory.

L2 — Valkey

~200 microseconds. Distributed cache shared across all service instances.

L3 — PostgreSQL

~2 milliseconds. Durable source of truth, only hit on cache miss.

Tech Stack

Go

Redirect service built with Go and chi router for minimal overhead and maximum throughput.

Valkey

In-memory cache layer with server-assisted client-side caching for sub-microsecond lookups.

PostgreSQL

Rock-solid relational database as the durable source of truth for all link data.
