ent VS Fiber

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

To make my life easier, I added Fiber, a popular lightweight framework. Regardless of which package you use, the process and most of the code will remain unchanged.

Since you're from Nodejs just like me, I use fiber https://gofiber.io/ it's easier to understand from a Nodejs background (express, etc) and there's nothing wrong using it if you know it, your casual application wont need all the performance in the world Go provides

I think u should try Fiber it's the fastest according to the benchmarks and imo it's the best I love it!!!

Boneless is a powerful tool that offers a wide range of features to facilitate application development. In this blog post, we will explore some essential tools that can be used in conjunction with Boneless: Service Weaver, Go Migrate, SQLC, and Fiber. Let's discover how these tools can boost productivity and efficiency in application development.

Fiber

Fibber is web framework written in Go. It is very easy to learn. https://gofiber.io

don’t have an API at all - it’s a security vulnerability and unless you already know how to secure an API suite it’s very likely to increase risk for a dependent project. if you’re set on an API, use a well known routing package (e.g I love gofiber), and add an optional .withMiddleware() to your start func to allow clients to extend and secure the API themselves

I have loved using fiber. Very nice API with lots of configurability and it scales very well compared to echo, gin, etc.
