"GORM Development Techniques"
"GORM Development Techniques" is a comprehensive guide dedicated to mastering advanced application development using GORM, Go's powerful Object-Relational Mapping library. This book begins with an in-depth exploration of GORM’s core architecture, illuminating the internal mechanics, data flows, and reflection-based paradigms that underpin its robust ORM capabilities. Through clear explanations of concurrency, error management, and an extensible plugin infrastructure, readers are equipped to build resilient, scalable, and easily maintainable data-driven applications.
Moving beyond fundamentals, the book systematically covers sophisticated model design, relationship management, and query optimization. Readers learn to craft expressive and high-performance Go struct models, implement complex associations—including cyclic and recursive relations—and leverage advanced querying techniques integrating raw SQL, dynamic filters, and bulk operations. Performance engineering is addressed extensively, with detailed strategies for caching, indexing, memory management, and leveraging Go’s concurrency patterns for scalable workflows.
Practical attention is devoted to every stage of the application lifecycle, from automated schema migrations and rigorous testing to observability, debugging, and high-level security. The final chapters focus on extending GORM through custom plugins, integration with cloud platforms, and solving real-world architectural challenges such as multi-tenancy, GDPR compliance, and Distributed Domain-Driven Design. Supported by hands-on case studies, "GORM Development Techniques" is an indispensable resource for Go developers seeking to elevate their mastery of GORM to build performant, compliant, and enterprise-ready applications.
