  • bob

    SQL query builder and ORM/Factory generator for Go with support for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite (by stephenafamo)

  • For an ORM recommendation, I'm heavily biased towards Bob (https://github.com/stephenafamo/bob) since I created it.

  • goa

    🌟 Goa: Elevate Go API development! 🚀 Streamlined design, automatic code generation, and seamless HTTP/gRPC support. ✨

  • A good framework is Goa: https://goa.design/ I like it because is can generate REST, gRPC and OpenAPI documentation. The documentation is a big deal as it is eases the pain of anyone using your API.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sqlx

    general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql

  • If you care about performance you might want to avoid an ORM all together and just write out the queries you need. We use sqlx in those cases.
