TRAFFIC IS A
PHYSICAL ASSET.
Own it. Self-hosted link infrastructure with <5ms latency.
Privacy-first. Zero vendor lock-in. Bare-metal reality.

REJECT THE CLOUD ABSTRACTION
Your traffic is being routed through black boxes. You don't own the data. You don't control the latency. You are renting your own infrastructure.
Latency Tax
Every redirect adds 100ms+ of "cloud magic" overhead. Your users wait while third-party servers handshake, track, and resell their data.
Surveillance Capitalism
"Free" link shorteners are data brokers. They drop cookies, fingerprint devices, and monetize your audience without your consent.
Vendor Lock-in
When they raise prices or change terms, you're trapped. Your links are their property. Migrating is a broken promise.
THE SOVEREIGN ARCHITECTURE
Built on Elixir, Phoenix, and ETS. Designed for the Hot Path.
The Razor Router
Namespace separation eliminates lookup overhead. /_/ for system internals, everything else is a slug. Zero ambiguity.
ETS Caching (Hot Path)
Redirects serve from RAM. <5ms internal processing time. Database hits are asynchronous. If the DB dies, the cache lives on.
Privacy Buffer
GDPR-compliant by default. No PII storage. IPs are hashed with a daily salt and discarded. Analytics without surveillance.
defmodule Qwynk.Router do # The Hot Path def dispatch(conn, slug) do case Cache.lookup(slug) do {:ok, target} -> Task.start(fn -> Analytics.capture(conn) end) redirect(conn, target) :miss -> # Fallback to DB, then populate cache resolve_from_db(slug) end end end
READY TO TAKE CONTROL?
Stop renting your infrastructure. Start owning it.
Deploy via Docker or bare metal. Your infrastructure, your rules.
