Beginner-friendly resources to learn integration tests for MongoDb based server.
Try gnomock (https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock). It creates a mongodb container with a random port which you can use from your go tests. See project readme for an example (it uses postgres but it is very similar to mongodb).

You could check out Gnomock (https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock). It offers a different approach than what you asked, but maybe it'll suit your use case. It allows to easily setup a real DB like postgres in a docker container and then delete ot when tests are done.
