goose is a database migration tool available both as a CLI binary and a Go library. It manages schema changes through incremental SQL files or Go migration functions across many databases including Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, ClickHouse, and MSSQL.
Use cases
- run database schema migrations for postgres
- manage incremental sql migration files
- write go function-based database migrations
- seed data and track migration status
- embed migrations in a go application
- migrate sqlite, mysql, and clickhouse schemas from one tool
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested migration tool for go projects
- you want both sql and programmatic go migrations
- you need broad database driver support including clickhouse and ydb
When to avoid
- you need declarative or state-based schema management rather than versioned migrations
- your stack is not go-based and you prefer framework-native migration tooling
