One tool, many roles. See how Redirect Manager fits into your workflow.
For the Marketer
Launch campaigns without waiting on engineering. Create clean, memorable URLs through the UI, swap destinations on the fly when campaigns shift, and retire links when they're over. No tickets, no deploys — just you and a dashboard.
For the SEO Specialist
Protect your organic rankings during site migrations. Map every old URL to its new equivalent with proper 301 redirects, bulk-import mappings via the API, and audit the full list from a single dashboard. Your rankings took years to build — protect them in minutes.
For the Platform Engineer
Stop scattering redirect logic across Nginx configs, application code, and CDN rules. Centralize everything into a single containerized microservice with a clean REST API. It proxies unmatched requests to your upstream, so your existing services don't even notice it's there.
About Redirect Manager
Redirect Manager is a lightweight, self-hosted microservice.
A lightweight, self-hosted microservice for teams that want full control over their URLs.
It acts as a proxy layer in front of your applications, intercepting incoming requests and routing them based on rules you define — through a clean REST API or a simple web UI.
No more editing server config files. No more waiting on developer tickets for a single URL change. No more paying a third party to own your links.
Built with Node.js, backed by PostgreSQL, and distributed as a Docker image, Redirect Manager is designed to slot into any modern infrastructure in minutes. It does one thing, and it does it well: it puts URL management back in your hands.
Whether you're running a marketing campaign, migrating a legacy website, or just need a central place to manage short links — Redirect Manager gives you a single source of truth for every redirect in your system.
Key Benefits
You own everything. Self-hosted means your data, your rules, your uptime. No vendor lock-in, no monthly fees, no third-party analytics harvesting your traffic data.
Anyone on the team can use it. The built-in web UI means marketers, SEO specialists, and content managers can create and update redirects without filing a ticket or touching a terminal.
It's API-first. Every action available in the UI is also available through the REST API. Automate redirect creation from your CI/CD pipeline, import bulk redirects from a CSV via script, or integrate it into any workflow you already have.
It scales with your needs. One redirect or ten thousand — the lookup is fast, the footprint is small, and the architecture is stateless enough to run behind a load balancer when you need high availability.
Open Source. Open Book.
Redirect Manager is fully open source and available on GitHub. Every line of code is public, auditable, and yours to fork.
