Requirements

Functional Requirements:

Core (must-have):

Create short URL — Given a long URL, generate a unique short alias (e.g., tinyurl.com/abc123) and store the mapping.
Redirect — Given a short URL, look up the original long URL and redirect the user (HTTP 301/302) to it. If the alias doesn't exist, return a clear error (404).

Nice-to-have (impressive additions): 3. Custom alias — Allow users to optionally specify a custom short path (e.g., tinyurl.com/mysite) instead of a random one. 4. Expiration (TTL) — Support optional expiry for short links (e.g., links valid for 24 hours or a custom duration). 5. Delete/update — Allow the creator to deactivate or update a link. 6. Basic analytics — Track click counts and referrers per short link.

Non-Functional Requirements:

performance, scalability , availability
