Redis Cache

The REDIS strategy stores cached data in Redis. The cache persists across restarts and can be shared between multiple application instances. It supports TTL-based expiration, optional TLS, and compression (GZIP or BROTLI).

This is ideal for self-hosted production deployments that need shared, persistent cache without relying on a CDN.

gothicRoutes. Setup (router, gothicRoutes. AppConfig {
	 CacheStrategy:    gothicRoutes. REDIS ,
	 ServeStaticFiles: gothicRoutes. ALL_ENVS ,
	 CacheConfig: &gothicRoutes. CacheConfig {
		 RedisURL:       "localhost:6379" ,
		 RedisPassword:  "your-password" ,
		 RedisTLS:       false ,
	},
 }, routes.RegisterFileBasedRoutes) 

The CacheConfig fields for Redis are: RedisURL — the Redis server address (e.g. localhost:6379), RedisPassword — authentication password, and RedisTLS — enable TLS for encrypted connections. You can also enable Compression and choose between GZIP (default) and BROTLI.

Here is a docker-compose.yml example for self-hosted deployments with Redis:

version :  "3.8" 
 services :
   app :
     build: .
     ports:
      -  "8080:8080" 
     environment:
      -  HTTP_LISTEN_ADDR=:8080
      -  REDIS_URL=redis:6379
     depends_on:
      - redis
   redis :
     image: redis:7-alpine
     ports:
      -  "6379:6379"
