Go + Postgres: The Complete Production Database Guide (Connection Pool + pgx + sqlc + Outbox)
A 5-second database restart causes a 10-minute outage. 100 connections storm Postgres simultaneously. This
video covers everything you need to know about Go + Postgres in production: the thundering herd problem and
how to prevent it with jitter and backoff, database/sql vs pgx vs sqlc with real benchmarks (COPY is 40x faster,
batch is 19x), the complete database layer: migrations with golang-migrate, connection pool tuning, the
repository pattern, and the transactional outbox with SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. Every
configuration decision is derived from a real production incident.
