Non-Functional Requirements:


    List the key non-functional requirements (eg low latency, scalability, reliability, etc.)...


API Design

Simple two get endpoints:

- takes url as strong parameter saves t and returns shortened url

- url with path is url saved in our database and redirects to original url


High-Level Design

Describe the overall system architecture. Identify the main components needed to solve the problem end-to-end. Use the diagramming tool to create a block diagram.




Detailed Component Design

Deep dive into 2-3 key components. Explain how they work, how they scale, discuss tradeoffs, capacity, and any relevant algorithms or data structures.
