websocket VS pq

What I can say is that if you will use Gorilla Websocket (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) (it's archived now unfortunately, but still super robust) - then you can go to sth like 15-20kb per connection - see https://github.com/FZambia/go_websocket_memory - to achieve this you need to reduce read buffer size, reuse write buffers, use goroutine after hijacking connection (following chat example in Gorilla WebSocket repo).

No Bugs? https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/issues Even if that were true at the time of stoping development, "No bugs" is something that can never be said for any software. I really wish this community stopped recomending to use abandoned libraries if only for the potential Security issues. A not maintained Library is a very lucrative target for vulnerability hunting.

The Gorilla WebSocket License says:

We'll be using WebSocket library: "github.com/gorilla/websocket" ❣️

package github.com/gorilla/websocket is not a main package

As for Websockets, (https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) it uses ws.NextReader() to handle heavy loads of connections.

I'm looking to build a game server that uses web sockets to communicate with clients, I've looked into some of the libraries and the main ones seem to be gorilla websockets and melody.

If this is what your import looks like "github.com/gorilla/websocket" that's wrong it should be just "github.com/gorilla/websocket"

Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!

Go’s standard library was not built to include any specific database drivers. So we need to install a third party package. In this case we are going to install https://github.com/lib/pq. Run following command:

For Postgres the driver comes from "github.com/lib/pq" and then it is just "postgres".

With regards to 2. -- also, it looks like there's an important unfixed issue https://github.com/lib/pq/issues/939. I haven't verified whether the issue is up to date.

Postgres (pure Go): https://github.com/lib/pq [*]Postgres (uses cgo): https://github.com/jbarham/gopgsqldriver Postgres (pure Go): https://github.com/jackc/pgx [*]

lib/pq 7.3k Stars, Used by 63k

I am using the lib/pq driver. is there a driver that does allow for this syntax or is there something I can change?
