Recommendation for Key/Value storage
There are also different packages used as a wrapper on top of the Go map based on what your requirements are (storing a lot of data) https://github.com/allegro/bigcache or (need performance) https://github.com/dgraph-io/ristretto. For basic use-cases, the standard Go map should be enough. Just keep in mind whether you need concurrent access to your data structure, in which case you should guard your map with a mutex .
What are some alternatives?
When comparing GCache and BigCache you can also consider the following projects:
go-cache - An in-memory key:value store/cache (similar to Memcached) library for Go, suitable for single-machine applications.
cache2go - Concurrency-safe Go caching library with expiration capabilities and access counters
groupcache - groupcache is a caching and cache-filling library, intended as a replacement for memcached in many cases.
noms - The versioned, forkable, syncable database
fastcache - Fast thread-safe inmemory cache for big number of entries in Go. Minimizes GC overhead
