Short link processing to improve service efficiency

Abstract:

A server receives a short link application from a requester. The short link application includes a long link uniform resource locator (URL). The server obtains a database identifier based on the long link URL. The server determines whether a database associated with the database identifier is accessible by the server. In response to a determination that the database associated with the database identifier is accessible by the server, the server obtains a short link URL associated with the long link URL from the database, and transmits the short link URL to the requester.
