What SQL library are you using?
I usually work with PostgreSQL and have used https://github.com/go-pg/pg. https://github.com/uptrace/bun is its successor.

Clean Transactions in Golang Hexagon
And it is go-pg. I personally really like it as a query builder (rather than an ORM) and it has good performance. It has one feature which I'll tell you about next, without which I would have struggled to implement what I had in mind. But this feature is available in other libraries too, so don't rush to rewrite your code.

SQL Query Strategy for complex structs
bun and go-pg both seem to work fairly well for these kind of purposes.

Connecting with database
For database communication we will use go-pg module. You can install it by running go get github.com/go-pg/pg/v10. This will install version 10 of go-pg module, which is latest version at the time of writing this guide. Now create new directory internal/database/ and file database.go inside of it.

How much do you agree completely switching from Java to Go? I have total 9yrs of experience in Java but now I am interested in Go.
gorm.io/gorm`, or `github.com/go-pg/pg` if you need something more feature-rich. I would avoid using `go-kit` and `go-micro` "frameworks" unless you have some special requirement for it. But you can take a look to have an idea of what Go "framework" may look like.

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.

Comparing database/sql, GORM, sqlx, and sqlc
Moved all my projects to https://github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler.

Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?

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.

Go overtook Ruby and ranked #3 among the most used backend languages for pull requests since 2021
FWIW, the other posts point to https://gobuffalo.io/ and https://github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler as possibilities.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-pg and SQLBoiler you can also consider the following projects:
GORM - The fantastic ORM library for Golang, aims to be developer friendly
bun - Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one
sqlc - Generate type-safe code from SQL
ent - An entity framework for Go
sqlx - general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql
bun - SQL-first Golang ORM
upper.io/db - Data access layer for PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, MySQL, SQLite and MongoDB with ORM-like features.
gorp - Go Relational Persistence - an ORM-ish library for Go
jet - Type safe SQL builder with code generation and automatic query result data mapping
