Integrate Amazon SQS with Bitly

Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service. is one of the three Amazon Web Services that helps developers deliver highly reliable and scalable systems. Amazon SQS makes it easier to build applications that use asynchronous message-driven architecture enabling multiple components and applications to communicate with each other and respond quickly to new information. Amazon SQS manages the transfer of data between different components and applications, so it frees developers from having to worry about building and maintaining such functionality. It also delivers fast and reliable performance to support frequent, high-vpume exchanges of data between applications.

Amazon SQS lets you decouple the components of distributed applications by providing a message queuing service. Amazon SQS queues messages that one component in an application sends to another. Components can send messages asynchronously, and the sending component does not need to wait for the receiving component to process the message. This enables various components to communicate with each other independently and asynchronously, and frees them from having to be in direct contact with each other.

Bitly is a popular URL shortening service used by millions of people every day. It provides a simple interface for users to shorten URLs on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Reddit, Stumbleupon, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Email, IM, SMS, and anywhere else on the web via an automatically generated QR code or short URL. The short URLs are also available for manual use, including pasting into email clients or instant messaging programs. Bitly supports bit.ly, tinyurl.com, j.mp, is.gd, amzn.to, fb.me, tmblr.co, qr.ai, ow.ly, bz.cm, lnkd.in, goo.gl, ong.fm, mnkd.in, yw.tl, zr.am, cnld.in, dl.gs, hdn.hr, ht.ly, ih.my , vg.at, lnkd.to, tlkd.to, tm.fr , tm.fr , t-out.fr, tm0.fr , tlkdaup.fr , tm36fr , tm37fr , tm38fr , tm39fr , tm40fr , tm41fr .

Amazon SQS can be integrated with Bitly using their API (Application Programming Interface. The fplowing example shows how to do this using JavaScript:

// queue up an Item

var item = { MessageId . "qr", // required field MessageBody . { Title . "The Daily WTF", Description . "WTF links for today." }, Url . "http://theweeklywtf.com", Type . "link" }

await sqs.sendMessageAsync(item);

// Get item ID later using its MessageId

// use it to get the url with Bitly's API

// output the results to your log file so you can investigate later...

// use the returned BitlyUrl object's public_url property to get the shortened URL...

// or just use the redirect_url property if you want to navigate there directly
