Prosu for Twitter

The full rewrite of Prosu
This is live at https://prosu.xyz

I learned Go during the summer, and was inspired to rewrite Prosu as my summer project.
The end result is a website that runs faster with only half the RAM usage. (~125MB avg -> ~50MB avg)

Requirements

To run Prosu, you will need two different types of databases:

• MongoDB (for persistent user data)
• Redis (for temporary user sessions)

Additionally, you will need a variety of environment variables:

Environment Variable	Description	Required
OSU_API_KEY	API key from osu!	Yes
ENVIRONMENT	The environment to run the application in (eg. "production")	No (default: development)
DOMAIN	The domain the website will be accessed on	Yes
CONSUMER_SECRET	Twitter Consumer Secret Token	Yes
CONSUMER_KEY	Twitter Consumer Public Token	Yes
REDIS_HOST	Host and port for redis server (eg localhost:6379)	Yes
REDIS_PASSWORD	Password for redis login	Yes
SESSION_SECRET	Secret key to encrypt cookies	Yes
NEWRELIC_KEY	NewRelic License key to send info to NewRelic	Yes if environment is "production"
ROLLBAR_TOKEN	Rollbar API token to send errors to Rollbar	Yes if environment is "production"
