In Redis is fast – I'll cache in PostgresShow HN: Pgdbtemplate – fast PostgreSQL test databases in Go using templates
Dear community,
I have heard that appropriate self-promotion is allowed on this forum, so I want to welcome `pgdbtemplate`. It is the Go library for creating PostgreSQL test databases using template databases for lightning-fast test execution. Have you ever used PostgreSQL in your tests and been frustrated by how long it takes to spin up the database and run its migrations? `pgdbtemplate` offers...
- Proven benchmarks showing 1.2x-1.6x faster performance than the traditional approach
- Seamless integration with your projects by supporting both "github.com/lib/pq" and "github.com/jackc/pgx/v5" PostgreSQL drivers, as well as configurable connection pooling
- Built-in migration handling
- Full `testcontainers-go` support
- Robust security implementation: safe against SQL injections, fully thread-safe operations
- Production-ready
Read the rest
quality: SOLID principles enabling custom connectors and migration runners, >98% test coverage, and comprehensive documentation
Ready to see how it works? Follow [this](https://github.com/andrei-polukhin/pgdbtemplate?tab=readme-o...) link and see the "Quick Start" example on how easily you can integrate `pdbtemplate` into your Go tests. I welcome feedback and questions about code abstractions, implementation details, security considerations, and documentation improvements.
Thank you for reading this post. Let's explore how I can help you.
