    > Ent heavily uses joins

    I’m specifically talking about this: https://github.com/ent/ent/issues/977.

    Devs assume that the `With` methods are adding join clauses but that is not typically the case.

    > does support multi field indices

    Composite primary keys are useful for reasons other than unique constraints and query speed. For example, CockroachDB uses the primary key to partition rows. Also, at scale, an extra multi-column index in addition to the primary key when the primary key alone could have sufficed can be a meaningful performance degradation.

    > not a Graph DB under the hood

    No it is not, but because it has a graph ‘mindset’ and does support Gremlin, traditional SQL folks expecting a lightweight ORM (such as Drizzle in the JS world) may not have a good time.

  • Concurrency Control in Go with Ent ORM and MySQL
    2 projects | dev.to | 21 Mar 2024
    In this article, we'll delve into the world of concurrency control in Go, specifically focusing on the optimistic locking approach. We'll explore its implementation using Ent ORM to illustrate how to manage data consistency when multiple users interact with the same resource. Keep in mind that this example serves as a simplified illustration, and real-world booking systems involve a many of additional complexities. However, the core concepts presented here provide a solid foundation for understanding optimistic locking in Go applications. Feel free to explore the complete source code in my GitHub repository for a more in-depth look at the implementation.
  • Go ORMs Compared
    5 projects | dev.to | 18 Jan 2024
    ent is a fairly recent ORM that uses a code-first approach where you define your schema in Go code. Ent is popular thanks to its ability to handle complex data models and relationships elegantly. It's statically typed, which can help catch errors at compile time. However, the learning curve might be steeper compared to more straightforward ORMs like GORM. It's a good fit for applications where complex data models and type safety are priorities.
  • Stop using entgo...please

    If you found this article, than you are probably similar to how I was a few months ago. I started a project in Go that required a SQL backend and I wanted to use any tool that would help me build this backend quickly. I stumbled upon entgo (an ORM for Go) and decided to give it a try.
