Current behavior

The recently introduced DeleteExpiredShortUrlsCommand to clean up expired links is great, as we foresee our database to grow in the millions over time. However, as there is no index on the expiry date column, this command will become increasingly heavy as it has to go over every single record.

Expected behavior

An index on the expiry date column will drastically increase the speed of the DeleteExpiredShortUrlsCommand

Minimum steps to reproduce

Fill up the database with a couple of thousand/million links.
Run the DeleteExpiredShortUrlsCommand
Now add the index and compare the performance of the DeleteExpiredShortUrlsCommand
