Check this repo, in particular this docker-compose-test.yml. This script is then used to spin up a docker with postgres for testing and kills it afterwards.

  Write better integration tests! Dockertest helps you boot up ephermal docker images for your Go tests with minimal work.

  

A couple options I've used as others have stated are to mock the db calls, or spin up a docker container of the db to run tests against. This package from ory called [dockertest](https://github.com/ory/dockertest) has worked really well for me. It supports a lot of commonly used databases and was pretty easy to get started with.
