go-link-shortener-backend, v1.3

Back-end of the service for shorting links.

Redirecting to the link URL by its code and serving static files.

additional routing:
- redirecting to the link URL by its code;
- serving static files;
passing a request to presenters:
- of links;
- of errors.

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:
- additional routing:
  - redirecting to the link URL by its code;
  - serving static files;
- storing settings in environment variables;
- supporting graceful shutdown;
- logging:
  - logging requests;
  - logging errors;
- panics:
  - recovering on panics;
  - logging of panics;
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.
