This package implements easy-to-use dynamic authentication for GORM connections. This is useful when using any kind of authentication mechanism where credentials may change between when the GORM handle is initially created and when new connections may open. Examples could include username/password credentials that are rotated frequently, or IAM authentication with AWS RDS.
This package supports MySQL, and theoretically supports PostgreSQL as well, although that has not yet been tested. It is built in a modular fashion that supports the implementation of additional databases as well. See the connectors and dialectors submodules.
We have provided examples for the following use cases:
For more custom implementations (multiple sources, multiple replicas, etc.), see the internal workings of the functions used in the examples.
