Short URL service using Cloudflare Workers

Demo app created for a Medium article to demonstrate Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare KV storage. This app is a short URL service like bit.ly and the likes. We're also automatically deploying this Cloudflare Worker using GitHub Actions.

Creating a short URL

Once you deploy both workers to your Cloudflare account, make a POST request to https://createshorturl.<worker domain>.workers.dev/ with a application/json body like below.

{
    "uniqueKey": "git",
    "website": "https://github.com"
}

Testing the redirect

Now, if you head over to https://shorturl.<worker domain>.workers.dev/git, it will redirect you to https://github.com because the website that matches the uniquekey "git" supplied earlier and stored in the KV storage.
