Pop is a Go ORM and database toolkit that wraps sqlx to simplify CRUD operations, query building, and migrations. It follows ActiveRecord-inspired conventions such as automatic timestamps and pluralized table names.

Use cases

• manage database migrations in Go
• run CRUD operations against Postgres or MySQL
• map Go structs to database tables with conventions
• build and execute SQL queries from Go code
• support SQLite and CockroachDB in a Go app
• auto-set created_at and updated_at timestamps

When to choose

• you want an ActiveRecord-style ORM in Go
• you need built-in migration support across multiple SQL databases
• you prefer convention-over-configuration for struct-to-table mapping

When to avoid

• you need a raw SQL-first approach without ORM conventions
• you use a NoSQL database
• you require heavy advanced ORM features like complex relationship loading found in larger ORMs
