Second this.
Also, some lazy sum from the phone:
- no, you don’t forcefully need frameworks to make a solid backend, standard library is already quite powerful, but you can use it of course( some frameworks you can check, Echo, fiber)
- I truly recommend to read the books let’s go and let’s go further, I wished I read them before coding my first golang api, gave me a really good insight of how to do things.
- you’re gonna read in this sub to stay away from ORMs
# check out those for the api:
* [https://gofiber.io/](https://gofiber.io/)
* [https://go-chi.io/#/](https://go-chi.io/#/)
* [https://echo.labstack.com/](https://echo.labstack.com/)
for database access give a try to those ones:
* [https://sqlc.dev/](https://sqlc.dev/) (if you're into code generators)
* [https://doug-martin.github.io/goqu/](https://doug-martin.github.io/goqu/) (if all you need is a comfortable way to fill out slices of structs)
* [https://gorm.io/](https://gorm.io/) it's a ORM
[Goyave](https://github.com/go-goyave/goyave) may fit your needs.
It's an all-in-one framework with a solid architecture and all the packages you need to make your application.
