I write HTTP services in Go after 13 years (Mat Ryer, 2024)
I found fx(https://github.com/uber-go/fx) to be a super simple yet versatile tool to design my application around.
All the advice in the article is still helpful, but it takes the "how do I make sure X is initialized when Y needs it" part completely out of the equation and reduces it from an N*M problem to an N problem, ie I only have to worry about how to initialize individual pieces, not about how to synchronize initialization between them.
I've used quite a few dependency injection libraries in various languages over the years (and implemented a couple myself) and the simplicity and versatility of fx makes it my favorite so far.

Gorilla,wow
any take on https://github.com/uber-go/fx?

App init and graceful watch lib recommendations ?
I’m not sure of much that can do all of that - maybe it’s a use case for https://github.com/uber-go/fx

Zerolog printing logs multiple times
Hello gophers, I am using https://github.com/uber-go/fx and https://github.com/rs/zerolog for logging.

Does this project structure make sense?
Also, I like to use Uber FX for my DI stuff. You can check it out here:https://github.com/uber-go/fx

As a Go programmer, what design pattern, programming techniques have you actually used, implemented regularly in your workplace which made your life much easier?
I only have private and work repos... But I use Uber fx. https://github.com/uber-go/fx

Does Golang has any framework like Springboot?
Spring Boot is notable for its dependency injection / inversion of control. The closest Go has to this is Uber's Fx which also includes some lifecycle management.
-
Config for production and mocking (db connections, http parsers etc)
If you have such a complex and deep dependency graph, and you don't want to manually maintain it, you could use some DI library to handle that for you. Something like https://github.com/google/wire for small-medium size stuff, or https://github.com/uber-go/fx for larger scale, more enterprise projects.

my office want to migrate to go programming language, what framework is recommended between chi or fiber?
I've been looking into fx by Uber. Looks pretty cool, but I haven't had the chance to do anything more than a hello, world with it.

Who moved my error codes? Adding error types to your GoLang GraphQL Server
GraphQL’s spec, as it turns out, does not specify how servers should handle internal errors at all, leaving it entirely to the choice of the frameworks’ creators. Take for example our GoLang GraphQL framework of choice - gqlgen. It makes no distinction between intentional and unexpected errors: all errors are returned as-is to the client within the error message. Internal errors, which often contain sensitive information like network details and internal URIs, would leak to clients easily if not caught manually by the programmer.

“Go is hard to justify unless at massive scale”
Better look into this one: https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen for GraphQL powered by Go. It's spec first approach and requires the least boilerplate code to write. It also incorporates seamlessly with Apollo Federation.
-
Go with PHP
I left PHP for Go.
- with http://sqlc.dev I don't have to write ORM or model code anymore.
- with http://goa.design I can have well-documented API's that any team can generate a client for in any language. It also generates the HTTP JSON and gRPC servers for me so I can focus on my logic.
- with https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen I can define GraphQL revolvers that play well with sqlc (any RDBMS) or I can use a key-value store.
- speaking of key-value stores, Go allows them to be embedded! Even SQLite now has the https://litestream.io/ project to make it super simple to use a durable, always backed-up SQLite database even in a serverless context.
Go is faster, uses less memory, and has really-well designed stdlib without all the bugs I used to face trying to use the PHP stdlib.

Libraries you use most of your projects?
In addition to the ones you mentioned, I also always use: + sqlc - Compile SQL to type-safe code + gqlgen - generate GraphQL server from schema + oapi-codegen - Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications + pester - Go http calls with retries and backoff + backoff - exponential backoff algorithm in Go

Ent: An Entity Framework for Go
I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL.
Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries (e.g. http server and session management).
If you are only looking for ORM + GraphQL then I highly recommend trying Entgql, an Ent extension for GraphQL with Gqlgen library [1]. Once you define an ORM schema, it will generate GraphQL Query for Relay server. Still you need to implement GraphQL Mutations by your own but at least it will create Input types for you (both for Create/Update).

Best packages?
gqlgen for GraphQL services. It's well documented and maintained.

Decent examples querying models from Postgres
For me sqlc work wonders. If you are developing a user facing api and are fine to go with graphql, with gqlgen you can even autobind (search the page for @goModel) the models that sqlc generates from your queries. A glorious match
