Testcontainers
I am using https://github.com/ory/dockertest for tests, specifically for databases. Is there any advantage to use Testcontainers?
-
Level UP your RDBMS Productivity in GO
Now, let's run the tests. For this purpose, we are going to use dockertest, but test containers is also a good solution.

Golang testing using docker services via dockertest
During my path learning go so far I have come across some amazing libraries and utilites, one of my favourite for integration testing is dockertest.

How to start a Go project in 2023
Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:
- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter
- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows
- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools
- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing
- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options
- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()
- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt
- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library
- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging
- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework
FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb
We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

Beginner-friendly API made with Go following hexagonal architecture.
I've used dockertest a bunch and it is really amazing.

How to unit test your database interactions with Docker
Reminds me of https://github.com/ory/dockertest
-
When to mock and what to mock in a Web API?
If your project is relatively simple and you can get away with recreating your scenarios against a real mock database and run other related services locally. It would be good to setup docker containers for your test scripts and write e2e tests. I believe e2e tests are harder but more useful in understanding/reasoning how users are impacted.

Don't Mock the Database
Just a heads up, the repository in your comment is invalid, the correct link is https://github.com/ory/dockertest
-
Mocking database calls without a library?
Don't mock. Use https://github.com/ory/dockertest to actually run tests against a dockerized DB.
-
Different SQL drivers for test and production
Use a library like ory/dockertest to spin up a test database for integration tests. It's easy to use, and tests are still fast. It'll take a minute to download the mysql docker image the first time. But, once it's been downloaded, starting the db, running migrations, and running the tests is still pretty quick.

How to unit test your database interactions with Docker
https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock does this pretty well, but I liked your solution too, it is neat.

Writing tests for APIs
gnomock https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock - like testcontainers

Beginner-friendly resources to learn integration tests for MongoDb based server.
Try gnomock (https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock). It creates a mongodb container with a random port which you can use from your go tests. See project readme for an example (it uses postgres but it is very similar to mongodb).
-
How to mock DB for unit tests?
You could check out Gnomock (https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock). It offers a different approach than what you asked, but maybe it'll suit your use case. It allows to easily setup a real DB like postgres in a docker container and then delete ot when tests are done.
What are some alternatives?
testcontainers-go - Testcontainers for Go is a Go package that makes it simple to create and clean up container-based dependencies for automated integration/smoke tests. The clean, easy-to-use API enables developers to programmatically define containers that should be run as part of a test and clean up those resources when the test is done.
