url-shortener

a microservice that takes long URLs and squeezes them into fewer characters to make a link that is easier to share

Promises:

You can pass a URL as a parameter and you will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response.
When anyone visit that shortened URL, it will get redirected to the original link.

Example output:

{ "original_url":"https://reddit.com", "short_url":"https://nanos.herokuapp.com/2aEU22" }
