ent VS core

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

As a recap, StaticBackend is a simple backend server API easy to self-host or importable in Go program without hosting a separate server.

StaticBackend is a simple backend server API you may use to build complex web applications. Fully open source and easy to self-host. It handles lot of backend building blocks.

I want to put StaticBackend on your radar. It's an open-source backend API I've worked on for more than 3.5+ years.

I'd like to put StaticBackend - GitHub in your radar. It's a simple backend server API that tries to handle most of the common functiionalities found in web applications. It's open-source and very easy to self-host.

Since people often ask where they could contribute to a Go project, I thought I'd jump in as I took some times to create some good first contribution issues for StaticBackend.

It's not always present in issues what has to be done in a project. On that note, I'd shamelessly suggest to look at StaticBackend which is a backend API to help expedite v1 (MVP) launch time.

I can tell you what I like and don't like about my open source backend API (self-hosted Firebase) https://github.com/staticbackendhq/core

Hey, if you're interested in web backend I started StaticBackend - GitHub repo in 2019. It's a REST backend server which aim to provide most of the common building blocks like user authentication, database, file storage, websocket, schedule tasks, server-side function.
