GORM is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Golang. ORM converts data between incompatible type systems using object-oriented programming languages. An ORM library is a library that implements this technique and provides an object-oriented layer between relational databases and object-oriented programming languages.
In this blog post, we’ll show you how to:
- Start a YugabyteDB cluster on your local Engine.
- Download GORM and configure the sample project.
- Create a simple Go application to run GORM with YugabyteDB.

The Power of a Modern Database: YugabyteDB and VMware Tanzu
As global companies engage in app modernization initiatives, their developers find it increasingly difficult to match those efforts with a strong data layer. These developers continue to work with costly monolithic databases like Oracle or DB2 and NoSQL databases that forgo strong data consistency and important relational features. But it’s clear a modern database is required to match the ambition of app modernization.
That’s where the YugabyteDB and VMware Tanzu story comes in.

How to Set Up a Scalable and Highly-Available GraphQL API in Minutes
A modern GraphQL API layer for cloud native applications needs to possess two characteristics: horizontal scalability and high availability.
Horizontal scalability adds more machines to your API infrastructure, whereas vertical scalability adds more CPUs, RAM, and other resources to an existing machine that runs the API layer. While vertical scalability works to a certain extent, the horizontally scalable API layer can scale beyond the capacity of a single machine.
When it comes to high availability,

Using Ebean ORM with YugabyteDB
Ebean is a Java-based Object–Relational Mapping (ORM) application. It is more user-friendly and understandable than traditional ORM tools, such as Hibernate. It achieves this by employing a session-less design that eliminates the concepts of detached/attached beans as well as the difficulties related with flushing/clearing.
Even better, Ebean supports YugabyteDB, a 100% open source, distributed SQL database built to accelerate cloud native agility, lower costs, and reduce risks without vendor lock-in.
