To wire it all together, we'll use Ore , a lightweight dependency injection container for Go. And for persistence, we'll use SQLite via the modernc.org/sqlite driver (pure Go, no CGo required - your CI pipeline will thank you 🙏). By the end of this guide you'll have: 📦 A proper 4-layer Clean Architecture project structure 🗄️ A real SQLite database with schema migration on startup 💉 Ore managing all dependency wiring, lifetimes, and startup vali
