Create a Cache Segment

Let’s now create a cache segment in the Catly project. The cache segment is used to store the original URL and its short ID for easier access.

To create a cache segment:

  1. Navigate to the Catalyst CloudScale Cache component in the console. Click Create Segment.
cache
  1. Enter the Segment Name as “shortUrl” in the pop-up window. Click Create
segment-name
Note: Ensure that you enter the name exactly as instructed, because the application's code that you will download from the GitHub repository contains the same name.

The segment is created and listed in the Segments page.

created-segment

When a URL is shortened by the user, the original URL and its short ID are automatically populated as a cache item in the form of a key-value pair. The short ID is the key, and the value contains a string of details like the original URL, short ID, and the table details.
