What do you use to apply migrations?

To manage migrations in Go, specialized tools are often used that allow describing database schema changes and applying them sequentially.

Popular options:

• golang-migrate/migrate — CLI and library for migrations, supports many databases.
• pressly/goose — simple and convenient tool with support for SQL and Go scripts.
• sql-migrate — simple tool with YAML configuration.

Example of using golang-migrate:

migrate -path ./migrations -database "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable" up

In a project, migrations are usually stored in a separate folder, and migration execution is integrated into the deployment or CI/CD process.

The choice depends on the project requirements, convenience, and support for the needed database.
