Question 1

Is go-store ready for production use in Go?

Accepted Answer

No, the README clearly states it's under active development and not ready for production, so it's best suited for experimental or non-critical projects.

Question 2

How to set up go-store with Redis in a Go project?

Accepted Answer

Import the redis package from go-store, create a store using redis.NewStore, and use methods like Write and Read on structs that implement Key() and SetKey(), as shown in the provided example.

Question 3

go-store vs gorm for data persistence in Go?

Accepted Answer

go-store focuses on abstracting key-value storage with Redis, offering simplicity and portability, while gorm is a full ORM for SQL databases with richer features like migrations and complex queries; choose based on storage type and project needs.

Question 4

Can I use go-store with storage backends other than Redis?

Accepted Answer

Not currently—it only supports Redis, though the platform-independent interfaces suggest future expansions; for now, you're locked into Redis or need to wait for additional implementations.

Question 5

How to handle custom keys instead of auto-generated UUIDs in go-store?

Accepted Answer

Implement the Key() method in your struct to return a custom key, and use SetKey() to set it, allowing you to override the default auto-generation, as inferred from the struct integration feature.

Question 6

What are the performance benchmarks for go-store with Redis?

Accepted Answer

Benchmarks in the README show operations like Write at 104302 ns/op and Read at 65870 ns/op, but these are experimental and may vary with data size and Redis configuration.
