I am using BoltDB in production. BoltDB is wonderful for mostly read operations, if you perform a lot of read&#x2F;write operations, Redis will at the end be better because of the B-tree of BoltDB and the way the pages are handled (the author and the docs do not hide this, heavy read is the use case).<p>What I take from his post is that his software was nicely designed to be able to easily change the backend which will allow him to easily switch back to Redis in the future when he will get corruption from BoltDB because of the intensive read&#x2F;write which is not the use case.
