Functional Requirements

• ❏ An application which exposes one endpoint (MUST be a REST endpoint) to shorten a url. The backend responds with a shortened url.

• ❏ If the shortened URL will be called, the application performs a redirect to the registered URL.

• ❏ The registered URL SHOULD be persisted to survive application restarts.

Non-Functional Requirements

• ❏ MUST use Spring Boot

• ❏ MUST use a build tool. Use a tool, you’re familiar with.

• ❏ Required services MUST be containerized. MAY be a docker container.

• ❏ The application itself MUST be containerized. MAY be a docker container.

• ❏ The project MAY be able to start (not built) with only one command.

• ❏ The business layer MUST contain minimum ONE meaningful test (the covereage is not essential)

• ❏ Postgres MAY be used as persistent storage layer.

Bonus

• ❏ A client MAY provide a TTL Information for a new URL shorten request.

• ❏ If the TTL for a given URL is reached, the URL will be removed from the persistent storage.
