URLzinha

This repository serves as the main project for Urlzinha, a URL shortener application. It combines two microservices as Git submodules:

1. URL Generation: Handles the creation of shortened URLs.
2. URL Redirection: Manages redirection based on the shortened URLs.

---

Context

URLzinha is designed as a microservices architecture to demonstrate practical integration of AWS services. Each subproject has its own repository and purpose:

• URL Generation: Provides a POST endpoint to generate shortened URLs with an expiration time.
• URL Redirection: Offers a GET endpoint to redirect users to the original URL or return an error if expired.

Technologies

• Language: Java (AWS SDK v2, Jackson)
• AWS Services: Lambda, S3, API Gateway
• Version Control: Git submodules

How to Work with Submodules

Cloning the Repository

To clone this repository and initialize the submodules:

git clone https://github.com/Vogon38/urlzinha.git
cd urlzinha
git submodule update --init --recursive

Updating Submodules

If the submodules have been updated, you can pull the latest changes:

git submodule update --remote

Committing Submodule Changes

When the submodules are updated, add and commit the changes in the main repository:

git add .
git commit -m "Updated submodules"
git push origin main

Working on Submodules

You can navigate into the submodule directories and work on the projects individually:

cd url-generation
# Make changes
git add .
git commit -m "Your changes"
git push origin main
cd ../url-redirection
# Make changes
git add .
git commit -m "Your changes"
git push origin main
