- Why elixir over Golang
- Is there a similar tool or alternative in Go like strong_migrations?
-
How do you handle migrations ?
Next try https://github.com/pressly/goose We have this setup to be run by the CI-CD pipeline to be run before the application is started. BTW, this utility is compatible with https://sqlc.dev , so they work good together.

Does this project structure make sense?
For database migration I recommend https://github.com/pressly/goose As it works with sqlc and is a powerful tool for complex migrations. This is something a lot of ORMs are really weak with. I was on a large project with Gorm as the ORM and what a nightmare when we pushed to production!
- Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
- Don't Mock the Database
