A suite of benchmarks for database libraries in Go. Currently benchmarks:

• database/sql package (built-in)
• database/sqlx

The easiest way to run these benchmarks is via Docker and docker-compose (previously known as fig). You'll want both installed and available on your $PATH.

1. $ docker-compose build to build the required Docker image (just for the application).

2. $ docker-compose up -d pgm to start a database server instance (postgresql).

3. $ docker-compose run app goose up (only once) to run the database migrations, and bring the database up-to-date.

4. $ docker-compose run app to run the tests/benchmarks.
