PostgreSQLPostgreSQL

I am building a fintech startup with a friend, we decided to use Go for its performance and friendly syntax. We want to know if we should use a web framework or just use the pure net/http lib and also for the databases we put PostgreSQL and MySQL on the table, we want to know which one is better, from the community support to the best open-source implementation?

Postgres is a better option to consider compared to MySQL. With respect to performance, postgres has an edge over MySQL. Don't use net/http for production. Read this https://medium.com/@nate510/don-t-use-go-s-default-http-client-4804cb19f779 I prefer gorilla/mux as it is simple and provides all the basic features. Other lib seems to be an overhead if you just need basic routing.

Thank you so much carlos for responding ! for Golang, do you suggest we go with a web framework maybe like Martini, Gin... or just use the builtin net/http ?

I really want to know, what are the problems that JSON Web Token solves that Sessions can't. JWT is actually more vulnerable when it comes to security. And what do other companies like Facebook or even Airbnb use to secure their API endpoint (I'm talking about GraphQL here).

Thanks!
