  • Replacing Complicated Hashmaps with SQLite

    SQLite is great. I've also recently settled on it as a key-value store, after considering a few purpose-built key-value solutions. Turns out that it's really easy to make SQLite work as a key-value store, but very difficult to make key-value stores relational.

    Just be careful with `:memory:` databases. From the mattn/go-sqlite3 FAQ[1]:

    > Each connection to ":memory:" opens a brand new in-memory sql database, so if the stdlib's sql engine happens to open another connection and you've only specified ":memory:", that connection will see a brand new database. A workaround is to use "file::memory:?cache=shared" (or "file:foobar?mode=memory&cache=shared"). Every connection to this string will point to the same in-memory database.

    I noticed strange behaviors with just `:memory:` where tables would just disappear at random, and this workaround helped. Make sure to use a unique filename as the `file:` value, especially if using this in tests.

  • From Golang Beginner to Building Basic Web Server in 4 Days!
    5 projects | /r/golang | 21 May 2023
    For building my web server, I chose to use the Gin framework as the foundation of my app. It was incredibly easy to understand and work with, and I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly it integrated with writing unit tests for the server. To handle the database, I leveraged the power of go-sqlite and migrate for efficient SQL queries and migrations. These libraries proved to be both powerful and user-friendly, making the development process a breeze.

    SQLite does have an optional "user authentication" extension, though I've not personally tried it out:

    https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/ext/userauth/user-auth....

    The widely used Go SQLite library by mattn says it supports it, if that's useful:

  • Go port of SQLite without CGo

    I have an OSS project, sq which is a data-wrangling swiss-army knife for structured data. Think of it as jq for databases. It supports Postgres, SQLServer, MySQL and - relevantly - SQLite. It embeds SQLite via CGo and the mattn/go-sqlite3 driver.

    IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here
