I like the iterative approach that you took with the post and codebase. It really takes the reader on a journey with you and helps understand the decision points and process of software development, it's so important compared to just showing a final polished solution, after all, we're all trying to replicate the software development process, not the product.

It's a good quality show, my kid can now read and is looking up plot lines from the show in his science and nature books and really enjoys the idea that so much of the show is actually true to life

Clearly this just a marketing tool to push the Saas template but it's a good idea for a bit of cheap engagement. Well done.

I bet this already exists but I don't want to verify that.

They are useful for links that need to outlive the infrastructure they are hosted on. Think about them as a layer of abstraction. Ie. Links in paper published to a journal like nature. It might be valid for 10 years but the links embedded in it will rot quickly as organisations change cms's, domains names change. Organisations merge and disappear.

Also places where the cost to change the url is expensive, bus shelter adverts etc.

If you had the time and inclination you could even seed their account with mock stat's. I.e. when the link shortened is accessed, correctly log all of the metrics to their account so they have solid metrics indicating its working, but fail the actual consumer requests

Why not use docker compose, bring up your infra in one container, your application in a second and your tests access it the application from a third.

This looks to be like just language specific bindings over the docker compose syntax. You're right that docker compose handles all of the situations they describe.

Yes, I felt the same, I thought I was unaware of some fundamental flaw of webhooks.

I feel webooks have lasted because they are the simplest thing that gets the job done. They only rely upon open standards like http, they are secured via tls, have well understood failure scenarios.
