The Repository Pattern in Go

Go (Golang) for Cloud-Native Microservices

Decoupling Storage

To build maintainable microservices, separate your business logic from your data access code.

The Interface:

go type UserRepository interface { GetByID(id int) (*User, error) Save(u *User) error }

By coding to an interface, you can start with an In-Memory implementation and switch to PostgreSQL later without changing your handlers.
