KMNF

Project Goal

KMNF was engineered to serve as a fast, reliable, and secure URL shortening microservice capable of handling heavy production redirect requests from local government portals with real-time geo-analytics logging.

Engineering Challenges

When handling high volumes of redirection routing, database lookup latency can easily build up. Our core constraint was keeping redirect resolution times under 15 milliseconds even during massive concurrent request spikes.

Key Technical Achievements

• Built an Express routing layer linked to Redis in-memory storage, serving cached URLs instantly.
• Integrated a fast GeoIP locator library mapping visitor click metadata (countries, operating systems, and referrers) in real time.
• Designed dynamic security threat scanning parameters that inspect destination URLs against blacklisted phishing domains before redirection.
