urlshortener(binds at port: 8000) and keygenerator(binds at port:8001) services are two different Django projects. There is a Celery task (generate_keys) works in every minute and generates keys and then saves these keys in keys_key table.
Keygenerator has a single endpoint https://localhost:8001/keys which takes GET request from urlshortener service.
When a POST request comes to urlshortener service (http://127.0.0.1:8000/urls) urlshortener service gets a pregenerated key from keygenerator service (https://127.0.0.1:8001/keys)
