Serverless Functions
Use Netlify Functions, Vercel Edge Functions, or AWS Lambda to handle redirects. Record clicks, track conversions, and redirect users to affiliate links.
Static Redirects
For static sites, use redirect rules in _redirects files (Netlify) or redirect configurations. Simpler but less flexible than serverless functions.
Database-Driven Redirects
Store affiliate links in a database and use serverless functions to look up and redirect. Provides maximum flexibility and analytics capabilities.
