This is just a small project for practicing some backend web skills. The homepage is a form where you can input a long url (or any url, I guess---Whatever floats your boat). When you submit the form, the long url is assigned a short tag which is saved in a database alongside the original url. Afterwards, /short/<tag> will redirect to the long url. The concept is similar to Bitly or TinyURL.

The entire project is set up to run with docker-compose, so everything should be very portable and easy to use. To run the server, do the following:
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
That's it.
