For instance\, th e ability to quickly generate a unique URL\, manage state of the URI reso urce\, including capturing clicks\, timestamps\, etc. while scaling to po tentially hundreds if not thousands of concurrent requests is a simple\, but interesting problem domain. \; \; \; \;In this talk\, we 'll look at why Node.js is the perfect framework for building a fast\, sl ick little URL shortening service that is easy to maintain and scales rea lly well on the web.
