The Buf CLI is a versatile tool designed for handling Protocol Buffers (Protobuf), a method of serializing structured data. It offers several key features, including managing Protobuf assets through the Buf Schema Registry (BSR), providing a linter to enforce optimal API design and structure, and a breaking change detector to maintain compatibility either in source code or at the wire level. Additionally, the Buf CLI includes a generator that activates plugins based on user-defined templates and a formatter to standardize the formatting of Protobuf files according to industry norms. It also integrates seamlessly with the Buf Schema Registry, supporting comprehensive dependency management.

2: You can use gorm to save time and can also use protobuf plugin to make your life easier. I like https://github.com/complex64/protoc-gen-gorm it does not support relations yet but I guess you only need one table. ORM is not recommended but working with protobuffers you can save a lot of time with auto generation. if not ORM, u/jloking post makes more sense.
