URL Shortener

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.

Useful commands

To bootstrap an environment (needs to run only once):

make bootstrap

Note: will use AWS default account and region as configure on yout credentials file. Run make env to print your account and region.

To build the application and then synthesize it (run it before every update):

make synth

To deploy the changes:

make deploy

Simply running make or make all will run both make synth and make deploy in order. See the Makefile for more details.

Custom Domain

This personal project uses my fdr.one domain, and requires an existing public domain.

Free Tier

The idea behind this project is to host personal URL shortener, relying only on AWS and Cloudflare Free Tier (unfortunately I still have to pay for the domain fdr.one, which costs me about 9 USD/year).
