✂️ URL Shortener Architecture ✂️


This is a simple custom URL-shortener project deployed on AWS with the following specifications:

This project was inspired by the following tutorials and examples:

The information of this repository is based on many online resources, so feel free to use it as a guide for your future projects!.

AWS CDK ☁️

AWS Cloud Development Kit is an amazing open-source software development framework to programmatically define cloud-based applications with familiar languages.

My personal opinion is that you should learn about CDK when you feel comfortable with cloud-based solutions with IaC on top of AWS Cloudformation. At that moment, I suggest that if you need to enhance your architectures, it's a good moment to use these advanced approaches.

The best way to start is from the Official AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) v2 Documentation.

Dependencies 🚦

The dependencies are explained in detail for each project, but the most important ones are Python and AWS-CDK.

My advice is to primary understand the basics on how CDK works, and then, develop amazing projects with this incredible AWS tool!.

Software dependencies (based on project)

  • Visual Studio Code
    Visual Studio Code is my main code editor for high-level programming. This is not absolutely necessary, but from my experience, it gives us a great performance and we can link it with Git and GitHub easily.

  • NodeJs
    NodeJs is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine programming language. The community is amazing and lets us handle async functionalities in elegant ways.

  • Python
    Python is an amazing dynamic programming language that let us work fast, with easy and powerful integration of different software solutions.

Libraries and Package dependencies (based on project)

  • CDK CLI (Toolkit)
    To work with the CDK, it is important to install the main toolkit as a NodeJs global dependency. Then, feel free to install the specific language AWS-CDK library (for example: aws-cdk.core.

Usage 💫

All projects are well commented/documented and most of them have specifications and remarks for their purpose and I/O.

I will be uploading most of the files, and try to keep it as clean as possible.

Special thanks 🎁

  • Thanks to all contributors of the great OpenSource projects that I am using.
