BZOD is a complete multi-user URL management platform featuring custom landing pages, analytics, audit logging, and automated disaster recovery. Powered entirely by SQLite.
Production-grade platform for organizations requiring complete ownership of their links, analytics, and operational data.
Create short, memorable URLs with custom slugs. Password protection, expiration dates, and smart preview pages included.
Host custom landing pages with full analytics tracking. QR code support, custom domains, and rich content editing.
Comprehensive visitor tracking with browser detection, referrer analysis, daily/monthly statistics, and CSV/JSON export.
Built with Rust for zero buffer overflows, use-after-free bugs, or null pointer issues. Complete memory safety at compile time.
Full user management with quotas, API tokens, session management, and tenant isolation. Role-based access control.
Complete audit trail of all operations. Moderation tools, security events, and compliance-ready logging for enterprises.
Disaster recovery workflows with automated backups. One-command restore. No external dependencies required.
Reliable file-based storage with ACID transactions. No PostgreSQL, Redis, or Kubernetes needed. Single binary deployment.
Tenant-isolated multi-user architecture with separate databases for content and analytics. Built on Axum web framework and SQLite.
High-performance async HTTP server. Handles routing, middleware, authentication, and request validation. Graceful shutdown and error handling.
Isolated databases per user. System DB for global state, users DB for accounts/sessions, tenant DBs for content and analytics.
Real-time visitor tracking with browser detection, referrer analysis, and aggregated statistics. CSV/JSON export support.
Complete event logging, user activity tracking, and moderation tools. Compliance-ready for regulated industries.
Instead of a monolithic database, BZOD securely segments administrative data from tenant analytics and content via dedicated SQLite files operating in WAL mode.
By assigning physical `content.db` and `analytics.db` files to each user, cross-user data leakage is eliminated at the file-system level.
The centralized `system.db` resolves global paths and routes the visitor to the correct tenant's isolated database instantly.
Write-Ahead Logging provides robust concurrency and zero-contention crash recovery without the overhead of PostgreSQL.
Integrate BZOD with CI/CD pipelines, home automation, or custom applications using secure, token-based authentication.
