# Architecture

This project uses:

- `Nextjs` as its frontend;

- `Golang` & `Expressjs` as the backend servers configured with Nginx for load-balancing;

- `MongoDB` as non-relational db for authentication

- `Redis` as in-memory key-value db for url keys management

- For scalability and portability, both the frontend and backend are containerized using Docker and can be spun-up easily using docker-compose and can be orchestrated using the Kubernetes (the manifest files have been provided).

- Terraform is used for Infrastructure creation and Ansible playbooks and roles are used for configuring EC2 instances created on AWS providing:

    - Installation of Docker on those instances

    - Running of the url-shortener service through user input
