# divert
The internal URL shortening service for DSC KIIT. Available on [r.dsckiit.gq](http://r.dsckiit.gq)
## Get Started
Install the CLI tool to login and create short urls (only for members of DSC KIIT). The package is available on npm.
```
npm i -g @dsckiit/divert
```
This will install the `divert` command, just run `divert` in your terminal to start the cli tool.
## Tech and Design
The long and short urls are stored in the database. The backend fetches the database every 3 minutes
and updates a local in memory hashmap that maps the short urls to long urls. The redirect requests are directly served
by accessing this in memory hashmap. We need that sweet O(1) access.
The process to fetch from the database runs on another thread (implemented using goroutines).
`sync.RWMutex` is used to prevent data races on the in memory hashmap.
The backend service is written in Go. The CLI tool is written in Typescript.
