Concurrency Control in Go with Ent ORM and MySQL
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.

Go ORMs Compared
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.

Stop using entgo...please
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 auto migration feature of module seems to have issues processing fields with date/time values. After I spent hours debugging I reached out to their community to see if anyone had this issue. I received no response in their Discord (does not seem very active) and I only received one response on a Github issue I posted on the topic (after over a month of the issue being posted).

Comparing database/sql, GORM, sqlx, and sqlc
Personally, I've used a mix of these tools: GORM, Pop, and ent. I think so far, https://entgo.io/ has to be my favorite. I found the learning curve to be pretty straightforward and like how you can represent fairly complex relationships because of the data model and code generation capabilities they have. Also, automatic migrations with a choice to generate migration files. Although, I don't think there's as big of a community around this tooling.

Entkit golang DDD construction platform based on entgo framework
https://github.com/entkit/entkit is an open-source framework built using Go programming language (with entgo) that provides a set of tools to build scalable, secure, and composable software applications. The framework follows the Domain-driven Design (DDD) approach and provides features like code generation, database integration, and business object models to make the software development process faster and more organized.

Open-sourcing SQX, a way to build flexible database models in Go
We are really happy using jet. It lets you write type safe SQL and can read the results into structs- including joins into slice fields.

The "preferred" way of mapping SQL results in Golang is honestly, subjectively, awful, how to deal with this

Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
Try go-jet, it generates the models based on the schema, provides typed column names.

Any mid sized / big open source code base in golang that makes use of SQL DBs?
I have tried doing that, but was unable to get it to work. I posted about it in a discussion here: https://github.com/go-jet/jet/discussions/215
