Day 13/60: GORM basics
60 Day Go Backend Engineering Challenge
Today I focused on keeping gorm basics honest about query boundaries, transactions, and data ownership. The strongest checkpoints were decide where transactions begin and end before mixing reads and writes together, make query shape, connection usage, and migration ownership explicit, and separate storage models from transport models so schema changes stay contained.
The mistake I wanted to avoid was letting transaction scope grow until failures become impossible to reason about. The day felt better once the service boundary stayed visible and each component had one job.
The goal for tomorrow is simple: keep the rule clear enough that the next service still feels related to the same design idea. I also want to keep tracing one request path end to end because it exposes weak assumptions faster than a larger demo.
