Feature: Option to keep game state in storage on backend. #79

Open joshzcold opened 8 months ago

Currently on https://famf.app if I want to deploy a new version of code I wait until no-body is playing the game before I can deploy.

This is because the current state of the application would be wiped when I swap out the docker container.

I would like the option to store that game state in some kind of storage service.

Redis seems like a good bet for data that doesn't have to live forever and I can probably keep games alive for 24 hours instead of 1.

Another option is sqlite or postgres, but I would like it to be as plug-n-play as possible for others who also want to host the site.
