Recent improvements to the pressly/goose migration tool
In v3.16.0 we added a new Provider feature that unlocks the ability to implement a lot of highly requested features. More details in the blog post:
- How are y'all that are using raw sql doing DB Migrations?
- Why elixir over Golang
- Is there a similar tool or alternative in Go like strong_migrations?
-
How do you handle migrations ?
Next try https://github.com/pressly/goose We have this setup to be run by the CI-CD pipeline to be run before the application is started. BTW, this utility is compatible with https://sqlc.dev , so they work good together.

Does this project structure make sense?
For database migration I recommend https://github.com/pressly/goose As it works with sqlc and is a powerful tool for complex migrations. This is something a lot of ORMs are really weak with. I was on a large project with Gorm as the ORM and what a nightmare when we pushed to production!

A beginner's guide to creating a web-app in Go using Ent
I'm using .sql migration files with tooling similar to https://github.com/pressly/goose . Is there a way to manage my schema with my pre-existing tooling and my queries/CRUD operations with Ent/Atlas?

Go ORMs Compared
SQLBoiler takes a database-first approach, generating Go code from your database schema. This means it creates highly optimized and custom-tailored code for your specific database schema. SQLBoiler is great for applications where the database schema is well-defined and changes infrequently. However, like sqlc, it requires regenerating the code when the database schema changes. It's well-suited for projects where performance is a key concern and the database design is stable.

Any mid sized / big open source code base in golang that makes use of SQL DBs?
My current ORM of choice is Bob [GitHub Link] which I created based on my experience using and maintaining SQLBoiler [GitHub Link].

GORM
You mean like ORMs? * sqlboiler: generates Go ORM using database schema.
-
ORM or no ORM (and which ones)?
SQL code generator (aka inspect a database or SQL files to generate data models). You have the option of using something like volatiletech/sqlboiler which looks at the a physical database and generates code based on the schema. Or SQLC which is an amazing and fast project.

Using Prisma Migrate with a Dockerized Postgres
After trying a half dozen migration engines for NodeJS, I was pleased to see Prisma and its excellent documentation. As a golang developer I am partial to SQLBoiler and its database-first approach, though perhaps this is a condition of our community where we want all the knobs. Prisma was code-first but still gave me enough control to feel confident.
-
Can anyone help me on how you are using golang with databases in production systems?
I use sqlboiler which generates an ORM from your database, and sql-migrate which is a tool for managing SQL migrations. Although you have to write your migrations in SQL, which IMHO is a plus.

FWIW, the other posts point to https://gobuffalo.io/ and https://github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler as possibilities.
