upper.io/db VS ent

You will be joining the expert Go team at Horizon, previously who in our spare time + for fun, authored OSS projects like chi (https://github.com/go-chi/chi), upper/db (https://github.com/upper/db), webrpc (https://github.com/webrpc/webrpc), goware (https://github.com/goware), and much more. Our Go codebases are extremely clean and the patterns we've built have been shaped over 7 years of writing production Go systems and open source projects. These are the patterns which we apply to our infrastructure at Horizon in our products Skyweaver and Sequence.

You might want to give https://upper.io/ a try

upper.io is a viable alternative to GORM. Just a suggestion.

this is the reason why I chose upper/db over pgx/sqlc for my current cockroachdb side project

while upper/db is not as type safe, with proper testing infrastructure, it's the closest to django due to its simplicity/composability/query building support

i'm also excited to see how upper/db grows after generics land in Go later this year

So far, I've enjoyed using https://github.com/upper/db for raw query building.

I’ve seen people put automatically generated code (e.g. from https://sqlc.dev/ or https://entgo.io/) inside a sub-internal package (e.g. db/internal) with the intention of never exposing it to the rest of the code. The rest of the code works with structs and functions exported by the parent package, which internally delegated to the generated code.

I think the best ORM in Go is Ent: https://entgo.io/ It has great docs, great migration capabilities, and is well run with professional staff. The only downside is that some people don't like the approach of code generation.

This maybe isn’t an answer you want, but I will throw it out here anyway in case it is helpful. I have really enjoyed Encore.dev. It isn’t an open source framework like the examples you mentioned, but it is awesome for starting a new API project. It removes a ton of boilerplate and tooling for deployment. If you wanted an ORM you still need to add something like Ent.

I really liked the Django ORM, and for me, it is the nearest thing https://entgo.io/ They have an option to create a gRPC or REST API out of your database schema, but it's not as far in Django. On the other hand, they support graphQL very well.

Bob looks nice. So does ent (https://entgo.io/) Could you compare Bob to ent too?

entrefine is built on top of the popular "ent" library, providing additional features and enhancements that make it easier to work with data in your Go projects. It enables you to write cleaner, more concise code and reduces the time and effort required to manage your data.

I wanted to share with you a library that I have developed, ent-refine (https://github.com/diazoxide/ent-refine). This library generates fully customizable user interfaces (UIs) based on Entgo ORM, GraphQL API, and Refine React framework.

I think you are looking for ent https://github.com/ent/ent which has nice graphql integration.

Check out https://entgo.io/ I like the approach to define an entity schema first and let handle entgo the query part.

ent has the nicest integration with graphql (using gqlgen) that I’ve seen with Go, generating almost all the code needed for resolvers and some graphql commons like Node interface and Connection pattern. It also supports PostgreSQL out of the box.
