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.

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.

FWIW, the other posts point to https://gobuffalo.io/ and https://github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler as possibilities.
