Go + Gin + Postgres overview

Go web service stack: Gin HTTP framework with PostgreSQL as the primary data store. This combination is popular for building lean, high-throughput REST APIs and microservices that compile to small, self-contained binaries well-suited for container deployment. sqlx or pgx are common database drivers; migrations are typically managed with golang-migrate or Atlas. The stack emphasizes simplicity — minimal dependencies, flat project structure, and explicit error handling. Docker and Kubernetes are the canonical deployment targets. Integration tests commonly use testcontainers-go to spin up a real PostgreSQL instance.
