URL Shorter Application



This project I am building a url shortner service which is an application that helps to convert a long url into short that will actually work . I am not focusing on the userinterface now but in upcoming days, I might come with the new blog of web shortner application with all login and signup functionality.
For this I am using mangoDB cloud for storing all the get and post request on the database. I am new to mangoDB so, first I created a cluster in mangodb to start a new application which has a databse. We need to create a user and set a password to work out with mango db.
I am starting from a scratch and need to install all the dependencies required for this project. First I need a package.json which will work out with all the dependencies and packages, then we need express forweb framework, config for global varaibles, mongoose for abstraction of data from database and lastly, valid-url and short-id.

 The complete source code of this app is in the link below:

PostgreSQL locks in Rails Migrations

When we need to update huge data by adding a rails Migrations or a rake/Thor task. We should worry about the PostgreSQL locks. Every time when we work with the production data for updating, there is always an risk of locking the database. By locking the database, I mean, the data do not get updated, or simply it would delay the process. So let's see the case of locking the PostgreSQL: So, In this example if we need to update the default value of available from nil to false, and let's say we have 1 million of data, this migration will only add the new values and won't affect the old values.
