Ever wondered how Bitly turns a long link into a tiny one? In this video we build our own URL shortener on AWS, and the best part is there are no servers to manage. It's 100% serverless, so we only pay for what we actually use.
We connect five core AWS services together: API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, IAM, and CloudWatch. We break down exactly what each one does and how they work together, no jargon.
? By the end of this video you'll understand:
• How DynamoDB stores your links
• How Lambda creates short codes and redirects users
• How IAM secures everything without passwords
• How API Gateway blocks abuse and protects your bill
• How CloudWatch helps you debug in real time
