URL Shortener

Note: this is a hypothetical problem

Let's create a URL Shortener!

After extensive research, AlphaSight's Product team figured out that we can significantly improve our relationship with our clients if the links we share with them are shorter because it would make it easier for them to share those links.

Main Goal: to shorten a URL to an AlphaSights equivalent

Here are the features we expect from our shortener MVP

  1. given an URL like https://www.alphasights.com/careers/open-positions we want to generate a shorter URL like http://go.as/a12b23c
  2. if someone tries to access the generated URL (http://go.as/a12b23c) they should be redirected to the original expanded URL
  3. shortening the same URL twice should produce the same short URL
  4. in the documentation, describe any limitation you can see and possible improvements

That's it! ⭐

Follow the instructions in our main README to send your challenge and good luck!
