Redis Storage

Redis is the recommended choice for high-availability, distributed systems. It provides shared storage and atomic locking across multiple server nodes.

Setup

import "github.com/fco-gt/gopotency/storage/redis"

// Connect to a local or remote Redis instance
store, err := redis.NewRedisStorage(ctx, "localhost:6379", "password")

Features

• Distributed Locking: Natively handles concurrency across multiple server instances.
• TTL Support: Automatically expires records based on your configuration.
• Horizontal Scaling: Allows your API to scale while maintaining idempotency state.

Best Practices

• Connection Pooling: NewRedisStorage uses the official go-redis client, which handles connection pooling.
• Network Latency: Place your Redis instance close to your API nodes to minimize the overhead of idempotency checks.
