Clean Transactions in Golang Hexagon
And it is go-pg. I personally really like it as a query builder (rather than an ORM) and it has good performance. It has one feature which I'll tell you about next, without which I would have struggled to implement what I had in mind. But this feature is available in other libraries too, so don't rush to rewrite your code.

Connecting with database
For database communication we will use go-pg module. You can install it by running go get github.com/go-pg/pg/v10. This will install version 10 of go-pg module, which is latest version at the time of writing this guide. Now create new directory internal/database/ and file database.go inside of it.

How much do you agree completely switching from Java to Go? I have total 9yrs of experience in Java but now I am interested in Go.
gorm.io/gorm`, or `github.com/go-pg/pg` if you need something more feature-rich. I would avoid using `go-kit` and `go-micro` "frameworks" unless you have some special requirement for it. But you can take a look to have an idea of what Go "framework" may look like.
