I also recently built a URL shortener on top of Sheets API (https://github.com/ahmetb/sheets-url-shortener https://github.com/ahmetb/sheets-url-shortener) and I don't have to worry about setting up a database or other form of storage. All I needed to do was set up credentials, and it's good to go. A lot of folks don't realize Google Sheets is like a free small database with a decent API. :)
