Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup
Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

Connect REST API to database with Go
Go’s standard library was not built to include any specific database drivers. So we need to install a third party package. In this case we are going to install https://github.com/lib/pq. Run following command:
-
Getting EOF when connecting to a database using sqlx
For Postgres the driver comes from "github.com/lib/pq" and then it is just "postgres".
-
Is this a proper setup in Go for a postgres api?
With regards to 2. -- also, it looks like there's an important unfixed issue https://github.com/lib/pq/issues/939. I haven't verified whether the issue is up to date.

psql driver that supports the sql.NamedArgs & sql.Named?
I am using the lib/pq driver. is there a driver that does allow for this syntax or is there something I can change?

Ask HN: ORM or Native SQL?
Cornucopia is neat. I wrote a similar library in Go [1] so I'm very interested in comparing design decisions.
The pros of the generated code per query approach:
- App code is coupled to query outputs and inputs (an API of sorts), not database tables. Therefore, you can refactor your DB without changing app code.
- Real SQL with the full breadth of DB features.
- Real type-checking with what the DB supports.
The cons:
- Type mapping is surprisingly hard to get right, especially with composite types and arrays and custom type converters. For example, a query might return multiple jsonb columns but the app code wants to parse them into different structs.
- Dynamic queries don't work with prepared statements. Prepared statements only support values, not identifiers or scalar SQL sub-queries, so the codegen layer needs a mechanism to template SQL. I haven't built this out yet but would like to.

What are the things with Go that have made you wish you were back in Spring/.NET/Django etc?
pggen is another fantastic library in this genre, which specifically targets postgres. It is driven by pgx. Can not recommend enough.

Exiting the Vietnam of Programming: Our Journey in Dropping the ORM (In Golang)
> Do you write out 120 "INSERT" statements, 120 "UPDATE" statements, 120 "DELETE" statements as raw strings
Yes. For example: https://github.com/jschaf/pggen/blob/main/example/erp/order/....
> that is also using an ORM
ORM as a term covers a wide swathe of usage. In the smallest definition, an ORM converts DB tuples to Go structs. In common usage, most folks use ORM to mean a generic query builder plus the type conversion from tuples to structs. For other usages, I prefer the Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture terms [1] like data-mapper, active record, and table-data gateway.

Back to basics: Writing an application using Go and PostgreSQL
You might like pggen (I’m the author) which only supports Postgres and pgx. https://github.com/jschaf/pggen
pggen occupies the same design space as sqlc but the implementations are quite different. Sqlc figures out the query types using type inference in Go which is nice because you don’t need Postgres at build time. Pggen asks Postgres what the query types are which is nice because it works with any extensions and arbitrarily complex queries.

How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres + Go
Any reason to use sqlc over pggen ? If you use Postgres, it seems like the superior option.

What are your favorite packages to use?
Agree with your choices, except go-json which I never tried. pggen is fantastic. Love that library. The underlying driver, pgx, is also really well written.
-
I don't want to learn your garbage query language
You might like the approach I took with pggen[1] which was inspired by sqlc[2]. You write a SQL query in regular SQL and the tool generates a type-safe Go querier struct with a method for each query.
The primary benefit of pggen and sqlc is that you don't need a different query model; it's just SQL and the tools automate the mapping between database rows and Go structs.

What is the best way to use PostgreSQL with Go?
