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?

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

Golang equivalent of MyBatis/iBatis
You can use this https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx

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.
- PHP to Golang

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
