Depends on your requirements...

Quick and easy: Look into Firebase.

Powerful/extensible: Django + DRF

I would prefer a scalable solution. Go with PostgreSQL is my current stack.

Sorry wrong wording there. I'm currently using Golang (so, no DRF) and I don't want to use Firebase. My question was if I just stored the session tokens in the Postgres DB, will it take a performance hit, or should I store them in an in-memory store like Redis or Memcached?
