Looking for library recommendations: Django -> Golang port

5. pocketbase

   4 211 47,007 9.7 Go

   Open Source realtime backend in 1 file

   

   I haven’t used it personally, but heard good things about pocketbase.

6. ent

   5 146 16,154 8.7 Go

   An entity framework for Go

   

   I really liked the Django ORM, and for me, it is the nearest thing https://entgo.io/ They have an option to create a gRPC or REST API out of your database schema, but it's not as far in Django. On the other hand, they support graphQL very well.

7. work

   Process background jobs in Go

   

8. machinery

   7 14 7,724 5.6 Go

10. graphjin

    8 61 2,967 7.5 Go

    GraphJin - Build NodeJS / GO APIs in 5 minutes not weeks

    

    You're right. Django made a ton of tables, and it's pretty insightful to think about all the stuff it's trying to consider and a nightmare to migrate that framework. Django might have simplified some stuff, but it's still too opaque for my taste and the overall end goals of the project. Currently, I'm testing using graphjin (it doesn't have the best documentation, but it does boast an SQL generation capability that I philosophically think is the best way to do things).
