Show HN: Pgdbtemplate – fast PostgreSQL test databases in Go using templatesDear 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 quality: SOLID principles enabling custom connectors and migration runners, >98% test coverage, and comprehensive documentation Ready to see how it works?
