Today, we are thrilled to announce 7ink.to: a next-generation link management platform built from the ground up for developers and modern marketing operations. By building on V8 isolate runtimes at the edge, 7ink.to provides redirection pipelines that run in milliseconds, ensuring that your users get to their destination instantly while capturing rich attribution parameters.
Why Edge Link Management?
Legacy URL shorteners rely on traditional web servers and centralized databases. This means a user in Tokyo clicking a link might experience 200ms+ latency while the redirect query hits a database in Northern Virginia. At 7ink.to, we run isolate-based redirects across a distributed global edge network, resolving redirects under 5ms, which reduces user drop-off and increases click-through metrics.
"Speed is a feature. By moving redirect rules directly into the edge router memory, we eliminated database roundtrips entirely for active links."
Developer-First SDK
Easily automate link generation using our client library. Import the package, supply your project token, and generate slugs on demand inside your workflows:
import { 7Ink } from "7ink";
const sdk = new 7Ink({ token: "sdk_key" });
const link = await sdk.links.create({
url: "https://github.com/szoboszlainorbi",
slug: "github-profile"
});Key Features
- Ultra Low Latency: Globally distributed edge execution.
- Dynamic Routing: Redirect visitors based on device, country, or language rules.
- Advanced UTMs: Automatically append or modify query parameters dynamically on redirection.
- Custom Domains: Bind domains instantly with automatic, managed SSL certificates.
