I need to handle a massive quantity of images (for then to create static
web pages using that information). The images will be into the file system
but I'll use a database to hold information associated to them (i.e. width,
height, etc).

Now well, I could build a specific system in Go using an array of structs
or a map, instead of using a RDBMS; Redis could be another option. The
disadvantage of use Go jut like Redis is that all DB has to be in memory.

Do you think that it is worth doing it in Go by any reason in particular?

    If you're just looking for a lightweight, local database you could use
    sqlite.

    It's for the web, and I could use a DBMS without ACID (No-SQL) for this
    case privided that the DB is not all in memory so I've discarded to MongoDB.

    I'm thinking in design it from the beginning to be used into a CDN, when it
    been necessary. So this system would be in Go; a simple proxy which
    redirects the incoming conection to a datacenter deppending on where it
    comes from.

    Go isn't a database and has no set semantics. Who says that you can't use
    an on-disk index with Go? Especially with an SSD to help out, you could
    probably devise a very efficient combination of in-memory and on-disk
    indices into an extremely large number of images.

    Yes, I know, I already had written a little DB in Go to handle local
    information of my disks.

    That's a good idea. I was looking distributed filesystems like Ceph, Lustre
    and Moose FS, but a distributed database like Riak does everything more
    easy too
