1sec.az is an enterprise-grade URL shortener built for marketing teams, support desks, and SaaS products that need short, branded, trackable links at scale. Burncode delivered the customer-facing product, the high-throughput redirect service, and the analytics dashboard.

What we built

  • Sub-millisecond redirect service — every short link resolves in under 1ms at the edge, with global CDN coverage.
  • Custom aliases & branded domains for teams that want links on their own domain rather than the shared one.
  • Click analytics: per-link, per-country, per-device, per-referrer breakdowns with retention and engagement charts.
  • QR code generation for every link, with downloadable PNG and SVG.
  • Password-protected links and expiry dates for sensitive or time-bound shares.

Outcome

The platform handles millions of redirects per month with a p99 latency under 8ms, and ships analytics that beat what the user got from the SaaS link shorteners they were paying ten times more for.
