  • Setting up a Database Driver, Repository and Implementation of a transaction function for your Go App
    2 projects | dev.to | 22 Apr 2024
    Sometimes, backend developers tend to opt for an ORM library because it provides an abstraction between your app and the database and thus there is little or no need to write raw queries and migrations which is nice. However, if you want to get better at writing queries (SQL for example), you need to learn how to build your repositories without an ORM. To open a database handle, you can either do it directly from the database driver or do it from database/sql with the driver passed into it. I will be opening the connection with database/sql together with pgx which is a driver and toolkit for PostgreSQL. Walk with me.
  • The DDD Hamburger for Go
    2 projects | dev.to | 6 Jan 2024
    The infrastructure layer contains the concrete implementation of the repository domain interface ActivityRepository in the struct DbActivityRepository. This repository implementation uses the Postgres driver pgx and plain SQL to store the activity in the database. It uses the database transaction from the context, since the transaction was initiated by the application service.
  • Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
    21 projects | dev.to | 27 Sep 2023
    For building the RESTful Point of Sale service API, I've considered and selected a combination of technologies that would work seamlessly together. For handling HTTP requests and responses, using the Gin HTTP web framework would make sense because I think it seems complete and popular among Go community too. To ensure data integrity and persistence, I'm using PostgreSQL database with pgx as the database driver, the reason I choose PostgreSQL because it is the most popular relational database to use in production and offers efficient Go integration. I'm also implementing caching using Redis with go-redis client library, which provides powerful in-memory data storage capabilities.
  • Working with postgres in GO.
    2 projects | /r/golang | 3 Jul 2023
    If you are willing to commit to working only with Postgres, I highly recommend pgx. Be sure you get the latest version github.com/jackc/pgx/v5. This gives you the full power of interacting with Postgres without going through an intermediate lowest-common-denominator library.

  • Could I get a code review?
    11 projects | /r/golang | 1 Jun 2023
    Starting off, is there any reason you're calling out to the CLI, instead of just using a Postgres driver like pgx? Shelling out to the command line should always be a last resort where possible as a software engineer.
  • Why elixir over Golang

  • Zig now has built-in HTTP server and client in std

    Except pgx recommends using their native interface, not database/sql, for performance and extra features [0], so it's not that simple in practice.
