Here's a short video that explains the project and how it uses Redis:

>How is it blazingly fast?
It gets the required information that is necessary for redirect directly from `redis`.
With the help of `redis-search` the time taken for retrieval is super fast. Along with this excellent retrieval time, I deployed `serverless` functions on the `edge` so the redirects are faster.
So as a combination of both redis and next js we were able to achieve it.

>Future scopes that will be added
On a higher level, these are the future scopes that are possible to add.

- Using `redis` for saving and fetching analytics.
- Ability to share links dashboard with others.
- Protected links, with passwords.
- Time based analytics, to know at what time the link was clicked the most.
- Developer API to create the links.
- Marketplace to add `widgets` to the application.
- More ways for user to sign in.
