Too Long; Didn't Read

We will use Cloudflare Workers and KV to create a scalable URL shortener service that you can use to shorten your application links. KV is a key-value store that is globally distributed. We're going to use it to map from a short link to the original long URL. We want to expose 2 endpoints for the user - one to create shortened URL, and the other to serve all shortened URLs, perform 302 redirects if the shortened link is found, and 404 otherwise.
