Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.

GORM
Plug for bqb as a query builder, but there's also squirrel which works pretty well too.

Best packages?
(plug) bqb for very simple query building.

ORM vs SQL Builder in Go
Squirrel is great! Let me also plug bqb.

Open Source Go Projects for learning go
Plug: BQB (basic query builder) is small, 100% test coverage, and in AwesomeGo. A great starter project.

Where to find a virtual or local Go mentor?
I totally understand this. If you do go with a query builder, may I recommend bqb (shameless plug) as it allows you to remain closer to the SQL than some alternatives and doesn't do anything fancy. We stripped out 50% of our query logic with it in our org, which has enabled us to more readily tweak the SQL for performance.
-
Does gorm worth learning?
There's also bqb. We use it in production at our company -- much better than raw SQL. If you couple it with something like scany then you get more of the ORM benefits without the complexity.

Any "simple" projects with particularly well-written and/or well-documented code for a beginner to look through?
Another shameless plug: https://github.com/nullism/bqb pretty tiny query builder with 100% test coverage

Recent improvements to the pressly/goose migration tool
In v3.16.0 we added a new Provider feature that unlocks the ability to implement a lot of highly requested features. More details in the blog post:
- How are y'all that are using raw sql doing DB Migrations?
- Why elixir over Golang
- Is there a similar tool or alternative in Go like strong_migrations?
-
How do you handle migrations ?
Next try https://github.com/pressly/goose We have this setup to be run by the CI-CD pipeline to be run before the application is started. BTW, this utility is compatible with https://sqlc.dev , so they work good together.
-
Does this project structure make sense?
For database migration I recommend https://github.com/pressly/goose As it works with sqlc and is a powerful tool for complex migrations. This is something a lot of ORMs are really weak with. I was on a large project with Gorm as the ORM and what a nightmare when we pushed to production!

I'm using .sql migration files with tooling similar to https://github.com/pressly/goose . Is there a way to manage my schema with my pre-existing tooling and my queries/CRUD operations with Ent/Atlas?
