12 – Store Refresh Tokens in Redis

In this Golang Account Application tutorial, we will establish a connection to a Redis container running within a docker-compose development environment. We’ll establish a connection to this in-memory database to enable us to create a white-list of valid jwt refresh tokens. This will give us the ability to delete a user’s refresh tokens if they want to, for example, log out of all devices or reset their password.

We’ll also use Postman to signup a new user, and then use the redis-cli to check that a proper valid token is added to our Redis cache.
