System Design: Design a URL Shortener like TinyURL

If you're looking for a URL shortener which looks IMO to be in several ways slightly better than TinyURL etc., (link analytics, QR codes, API integration etc) I recommend checking out TLY, and if you do end up signing up for an account, please use my referral link so I can get a commission:

Amazed by the simplicity with which you explained everything, I think I will never forget a url shortner design now

[SimonAtkinsWins]

Excellent video, I think in system design I tend to think it's going to have many more moving parts but this shows that sometimes it's just client-server-DB on steroids.

one of those videos where you get most from viewing time - very concise, effective, no side bs, covers edge cases etc 💜

Solid, concise and the perfect warm up for every time I'm doing a last minute refresh before an interview.

What a coincidence, i am actually building a url shortener as a personal project and your video has provided me with more than enough information to build on what i already have. Great video.

The starting part where he explained the calculations of storage and other stuff gave me a GOOSEBUMP, just imagine explaining the same flow when the interviewer asks you this!!

10/10 explanations and visuals. We need more!

Would love to see more videos like this on designing systems

[AaronJOlson]

This is the best explanation of this I have seen. Thank you!

[huangjason]

Simple and just deep enough for non coder to understand. Awsome !

[erezh]

Great video! Got an interview next week which I was told I’m gonna be designing a system similar to the one in the video, this helped me a lot.

Saw this video, watched the rest of your videos, learned a bunch, and came back to say thanks.

I really liked the system design videos. Seems like the algorithm liked it too. Keep up the good work and see you in the next one.

Thank you so much for the quality content. Please make a series of system design! I feel so struggle and inefficient when designing complex system.
