A basic url shortener built for speed. This application uses redis as a cache, then cockroachDB (postgres) as a backend if redis is stale. Port/Adapter architecture makes it so that the cache can be swapped out with other modules (eg. memcached for redis) if necessary for a specific application of the project. url shortening done with sha256, but more advanced hashing techniques can be swapped in through the port/adapter model. authentication is supported via openid connect for Google and Github respectively through an implementation of the authorization code flow.

go run pkg/main.gospecific services need environment varibles set
eg. redis will need REDIS_ADDR and REDIS_PASSWORD
