Abacus—A highly scalable and stateless counting API

Note: Abacus was designed as a direct replacement/upgrade for CountAPI as it got taken down

In order to get started, please visit the docs at https://abacus.jasoncameron.dev

Install Golang & Redis
Run go mod install to install the dependencies
Add a .env file to the root of the project (or set the environment variables manually) following the format specified in .env.example
Run air (if installed) or go build to build and run the API locally.
The API will be running on http://0.0.0.0:8080 by default.
