For all the code and instructions of how to clone and run this example locally, see the Clerk Example in the Encore examples repo.

Encore is designed to work well with sqlc and is a simple method of trying it out, as Encore will take care of provisioning your databases automatically. Check out this hello-world example app using Encore and sqlc on GitHub.

To keep things simple, we're going to clone a pre-made backend app from Encore's template repo. It's a simple monolith implementing a URL shortener. The app has a REST API and a PostgreSQL database.

If you want to build something more, check out Encore's templates library for inspiration.

There's much more to Encore! If you want to get a feel for it, consider creating a free account and build an app with a template.

Download the elevenlabs package directory from https://github.com/encoredev/examples/tree/main/bits/elevenlabs and add it to the app directory you just created.

You can see the end result code on GitHub here.

Thanks! Encore does support dropping down to plain HTTP requests which lets you use Websockets, see [1]. We hope to make it more ergonomic and less boilerplate-y in the future, but it is supported :)

In this article, we'll delve into the world of concurrency control in Go, specifically focusing on the optimistic locking approach. We'll explore its implementation using Ent ORM to illustrate how to manage data consistency when multiple users interact with the same resource. Keep in mind that this example serves as a simplified illustration, and real-world booking systems involve a many of additional complexities. However, the core concepts presented here provide a solid foundation for understanding optimistic locking in Go applications. Feel free to explore the complete source code in my GitHub repository for a more in-depth look at the implementation.

ent is a fairly recent ORM that uses a code-first approach where you define your schema in Go code. Ent is popular thanks to its ability to handle complex data models and relationships elegantly. It's statically typed, which can help catch errors at compile time. However, the learning curve might be steeper compared to more straightforward ORMs like GORM. It's a good fit for applications where complex data models and type safety are priorities.

If you found this article, than you are probably similar to how I was a few months ago. I started a project in Go that required a SQL backend and I wanted to use any tool that would help me build this backend quickly. I stumbled upon entgo (an ORM for Go) and decided to give it a try.

The ent orm for golang actually does some useful work for you. https://github.com/ent/ent

Backend Database interaction with entgo

You can use entgo.io for ORM stuff, it also has entgql extension that integrated with GQLGen. See more at the document: https://entgo.io/docs/tutorial-todo-gql
