Ok, what `fast` means here? There is no database for the server-side project.



It is fast because Redis, which provides the storage, is considerably fast at the tasks necessary to implement such a service. Go has last little to do with it.


True but it's open source and perhaps people are interested to see something beyond HelloWorld with Go+Redis.

I actually re-wrote it once to switch out Redis for Postgres but it was way too slow.


There is a database. It's redis. It's persistent.
