Microservice Patterns and Best Practices

Applying cache

The first step is to download dependency with Redis as the connection driver:

$ go get github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis

The Redigo is our communication interface with Redis. We will use Redis as a cache tool of our microservice.

Now, we will create the cache.go file. This file is responsible for delivering us a configured instance of the cache. Similar to the other files we've ever created, let's declare the package where we are working and the dependencies, as follows:

    package main 
 
    import ( 
      "log" 
      "time" 
 
      redigo "github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis" 
    ) 

Then, we create an interface to create a pool of connections to the Redis and a struct with all the settings of the connection. Note that the instance of our pool will also be in ...
