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.

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.

Python: Just Write SQL
We've always used https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx which is just the standard package + mapping to/from structs.

REST API with Go, Chi, MySQL and sqlx
I will be using sqlx to execute queries and map columns to struct fields and vice versa, sqlx is a library which provides a set of extensions on go's standard database/sql library.

Best sqlc alternative for dynamic queries?
sqlx + squirrel ftw

Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
I'd rather suggest the use of tools more aligned with the core concepts of the language such as sqlx, which is an extension of the database/sql standard library. It allows you to use models/structs to map your tables but you have more control over the SQL statements you use to perform queries and the like. You can combine sqlx with Squirrel to build queries from composable parts.

Tools besides Go for a newbie
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

Where Is the Spring Framework for Go?
This is the same situation I saw 20 years ago. Back then, all the managers were pushing development in Oracle tools. Those managers grew up on Oracle and Java was too modern for them. Now the situation is similar. Managers used to do things in Java and now they are still pushing Java. In fact, today Java brings nothing but problems. When I see a new project starting on Java it is always some big desperation. For a comparison of Java and Go, just look at the documentation for SQL. For go: https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql (31 pages) and maybe https://jmoiron.github.io/sqlx/ (12 pages). In Java only one class is 59 pages (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html) and look how many of those documents there are: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/package-summary.html and on top of that we have javax.sql - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/package-summary.html And even then you use Hibernate for example, where the documentation has 11 manuals and of those the User Guide has 353 pages - https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/6.2/userguide/html\_single/Hibernate\_User\_Guide.html
