Link Too Big libi.me

⚠️ I had to shut it down to allocate more resources for my other project. Submit an issue if you have any questions ⚠️

Ever got tired of them huge links? Just feed them to libi.me and get super tiny ones instead

Unlike https://bitly.com/ it supports internationalized links, e.g., http://президент.рф

I made this to:

• Implement highly scalable distributed architecture
• Make the whole thing runnable on a single machine with a single command
• Explore Ruby core API
• See how fast Ruby can go, compare different ways vs. NodeJS
• Explore Redis database
• Explore Poi with Vue + JSX
• Make good UX

How to run

Install Docker and do: docker-compose up, go to http://localhost:20000

It's deployed to AWS EB using: Dockerrun.aws.json

Architecture

See ARCHITECTURE

Benchmark

I benchmarked HTTP server serving Redis values written with:

• Ruby making new thread on each request
• Ruby with event-machine
• NodeJS

See BENCHMARK
