// EDITOR'S TAKE
For a straight TinyURL replacement, Kutt is the quickest win: one container, custom domains and a UI anyone can use without training. Shlink is the better long-term choice if you want a proper REST API and per-domain control, while Dub offers far more than TinyURL ever did, including campaign analytics and QR codes, at the cost of a heavier stack to operate.
