Self-diagnosing link stabilizer

A method, comprising:

• generating, by a plurality of processor resources, an alias link through a web service, the alias link defining a first target link to a first target resource through a network;
• replacing a link to the first target resource within a network accessible resource with the alias link, wherein the network accessible resource comprises a file accessible through the network;
• providing access to the first target resource through the alias link from within the network accessible resource using the web service to resolve the alias link responsive to selection of the alias link from within the network accessible resource, wherein the web service maps redirection to the first target resource using a link management database that defines a single network location of the first target resource;
• maintaining the alias link in an unchanged state after the web service changes the alias link to define a second target link to a second target resource through the network;
• monitoring a plurality of aliases to determine whether each associated target resource returns a response code that matches an expected code according to a hypertext transfer protocol in response to a request according to the hypertext transfer protocol;
• based on determining that a redirect response code is returned as the response code according to the hypertext transfer protocol, performing a health check to follow a redirect associated with returning of the redirect response code, and determine whether the expected code is returned according to the hypertext transfer protocol;
• and
• sending a notification to one or more creators and group maintainers based on detecting one or more health conditions in response to the health check to prompt an update of an associated alias link.
