If the data in your app doesn't matter at all, and you have no availability requirement, sure keep everything in memory. I don't see what Go has to do with it however, any language should be fine.

golang is very efficient memory wise. And it is easy to develop with.

(Rust gods please dont see this)

The author states that scalability doesn't matter here. Any language would have been fine. The title should be "do everything in memory in a single process until you can't ".
