feature request: redis as a cache #120

What version of Go-Guardian are you using ?

Go-Guardian Version: 2.11.4

It would be nice to be able to use redis as a cache for the store instead of in-memory. This would allow more flexibility for scaling to multiple instances and help with app upgrades.

@c-nv-s

this is out of the scope of this library,

there are too many services out there that support caching like Memcached, redis etc. Introducing those caching layers will tremendously increase the library size and the maintenance effort.
auth caching should be locally to avoid network latency and for performance purposes.

See the following tutorial on how to scale the app horizontally without relying on any third service.
