go-link-shortener-backend, v1.1

Back-end of the service for shorting links.

Using sequential counters for generating link codes; storing counters chunks in the etcd database.

RESTful API:
- link model:
  - creating by an URL;
  - getting by a code;
- representing in a JSON:
  - payloads:
    - of requests;
    - of responses;
  - errors;
generating link codes:
- using a version 4 UUID;
- using sequential counters:
  - formatting:
    - formatting a counter as an integer number in the 10 base;
  - storing:
    - storing in a database only counters chunks;
    - storing counters themselves in memory;
  - sharding:
    - sharding counters chunks;
    - selecting a shard of a counter chunk at random;
server:
- storing settings in environment variables;
- supporting graceful shutdown;
databases:
- storing links in the MongoDB database;
- storing counters chunks in the etcd database:
  - using a record revision as a counter chunk;
- caching links in the Redis database;
distributing:
- Docker image;
- Docker Compose configuration.
