This comprehensive guide walks you through building a real-time voting/polling system that integrates an interactive front-end, robust back-end logic, persistent data storage, and containerization for ease of deployment. The technologies used in this project include:

Go (Golang): A powerful language for developing a scalable and efficient back-end. WebSockets: To enable real-time communication between client and server, providing live poll updates. Redis: As an in-memory data store for handling real-time vote counts and fast updates. PostgreSQL: For persistent storage of poll data and vote records. Docker: To containerize the application for easy setup, scaling, and deployment across various environments.
