Murls is an advanced URL Re-director capable of handling huge number of URLs with some advanced redirection capabilities.
It is not just a simple server redirecting URLs, or a simple app creating URLs. Actually, it is a combination of all including a superfast Web Server, a secure Mobile App and a handy Chrome Extension.
| Server | Mobile | Web Extension |
| Django, Django Rest Framework | Flutter | Preact |
| Nginx | Flutter App_Auth | Material-UI |
| PostgreSQL | Flutter Secure Storage | React Icons |
| Redis | FL_Chart | - |
We said superfast. There's a reason for that!
We implemented a new concept called boosted urls which is faster than the normal urls (those not boosted by Murls). Boosted URLs use Redis to get the location of the redirected URL. This process is much faster than the normal querying of the PostgreSQL database.
The Murls Server is tracks the details of the request and asynchronously saves those details (along with the IP Address and Time) into the database for a particular URL.
The Murls Mobile App takes care of displaying those details to the user in a detailed graph and the number of visits for that URL.
For a smooth and to have a better track of the users in the organization, we used Auth0 for handling authentication and user management.
All the apps, including the server, the mobile app, and the web extension use auth0 as a single source of truth for managing auth.
