Go API Project Set-Up
Unit tests are leveraged to test individual units of code. As such it is not recommended for a developer to scaffold entire dependencies for the sake of testing a single object. Due to the way Go's specific implementations work, I've learned over time to declare interfaces for a lot of the structs that I use in Go. Interfaces not only define a contract for which struct-based implementations should adhere, but they also provide a mechanism for which struct methods can be mocked. While I've experimented with the mock package in testify, I've come to prefer the mock functionality which is provided by mockgen.

How do you write/generate mocks for testing?
Currently migrating from moq to https://github.com/golang/mock

golang unit testing
I use gomock or mockery for mocking the interfaces and testify for evaluating tests

How we wrote Tarantool Kubernetes Operator
As every software, the operator needs to be tested. In our case, we use two types of tests: Unit and E2E. For testing, usually mock code generation is used (for example, via golang/mock). We didn't like this option, so we decided to use Testify's mock module that allows to mock required function interfaces using the reflection API—the interfaces used to configure Tarantool.

How do you decide you are gonna use interface?
If you don't know how to mock databases, checkout some tutorials on it, it's a big topic, and I can't give you all the details on it. Checkout these repositories, they are used for mocking in golang https://github.com/golang/mock, https://github.com/stretchr/testify
