KafkaPostgreSQLRedisAWSCloudFront

Distributed link-shortening platform handling high-volume traffic with event-driven architecture and real-time analytics.

The platform processes over 100K daily requests with Kafka-backed event flows for tracking and analytics. Redis caching ensures fast lookup performance for short links under heavy load.

Multi-region deployment on AWS ECS, S3, and CloudFront helped achieve sub-50ms global latency and fault-tolerant operation with proactive uptime monitoring.
