Description

URL shortener demo.

Task description: In this challenge, we're asking you to spice up your life with your very own URL Shortener! We've all seen sites like bit.ly that allow you to shorten a URL into something... well... shorter! It's time to make your own. There are roughly four parts to this challenge:

1. Make a small API app that receives in a URL with a stack of your choice.
2. Using the supplied URL, generate a unique URL with the base of tier.app. It should be generated keeping uniqueness in mind.
3. Return the shortened URL.
4. Bonus: track the visits in a second DB table for stats.
