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?

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

I agree, and I was thinking of using go-jwt but given the bad rap it has received here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13865459 and here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17877332, I'm having second thoughts as I don't want to mess things up. Also, I don't really need a stateless token just something that will allow for authentication from my server, Google OAuth and Facebook OAuth.

Can you please elaborate on this?
Ask HN: What is the best way to add authentication to REST API (for mobile)?
Newbie Question: What is a secure and accepted way for authentication and authorisation of REST API endpoint for mobile and SPA's? A google search usually yields JWT but from what I know about JWT, it's complex and doesn't support revocation of tokens easily.
