This project spawned due to my curiousity in gRPC, golang, and building something practical to share.
GoShorten is a self-hosted URL Shortener written in Golang. It uses a gRPC server on the "backend" for API calls and stores data in a Redis Database. The current Time-To-Live for each URL/Code is possible via the webgui. Options for 5 min, 24 hrs, and 48 hrs are available.
