snixr was built with cloud-native principles in mind, which means it's optimized for deployment in a cloud environment. It uses Docker containers to package the application and its dependencies, making it easy to deploy and scale on any cloud platform that supports Docker.
Some of the features of snixr include:
- Fast and efficient link shortening using custom hash-based algorithm.
- Shortened links that are easy to share and remember.
- Customizable link expiration times. (coming soon)
- API endpoints for programmatic link shortening.
