Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

how to avoid writing dreadful SQL statements
I have written about this before, and my thoughts always settle on using a query builder. I've built a simple one, which works for what I need, but there are more feature complete ones out there such as squirrel. I've also written about how you can implement a simple CRUD library for database interactions using generics and query building to have that nice middle-ground between an ORM and query building.

How do I enable filters for the user without writing redundant SQL?
Now for the dynamic queries you have to be really careful to prevent SQL injections, there are bunch of different ways to do it but I typically recommend using a package such as squirrel that lets you do this easily, you use it to generate the plain SQL you need (and then use sqlx, database/sql, pgx or whatever you prefer) or use it directly querying the database directly.

Why is Raw SQL preferred over ORM in go?
I think he means an sql builder like squirrel. This allows dynamic queries, but more important you can reuse function that build a where clause so you can get a count and query with that.
-
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.

Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.

GORM
Plug for bqb as a query builder, but there's also squirrel which works pretty well too.

Go ORMs Compared
GORM is a comprehensive ORM tool in Go, offering a code-first approach which allows defining database schemas using struct tags in Go. It's known for its developer-friendly nature, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users. GORM supports a variety of SQL databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. It's designed to be flexible, allowing developers to drop down to raw SQL when necessary. However, it's important to be cautious about its performance implications in large-scale applications.

Building Robust Applications in Go: Integrating Envconfig, Gorm, and OpenSearch
After successfully configuring the application, it's time to delve into integrating the data layer. For this purpose, I will utilize gorm, a powerful SQL ORM that facilitates rapid development of the data layer using model structs.

ORM or no ORM that is the question
For basic INSERT ... VALUES ... or SELECT ... WHERE ... JOIN ..., use a library such as GORM. For INSERT .... SELECT ... statements where one combines two round trips (SELECT and INSERT) into one, ORMs have a hard time performing this query. Particularly when you start doing joins. Joins are the heart of Relational database theory (they denote relationships). So get to know what an INNER, LEFT, RIGHT and OUTER join is and why you would use them. Also learn INSERT ... SELECT ...

Why ORMs are so hated?
I have never hated gorm and it serves me well. However I tend to feed it raw SQL very often.
