+# PoC of Go with GORM and Migrations
+
+- This PoC creates a simple entity, with migrations and calls for Sqlite, but should work with Postgres too
+- Migrations are embedded into the applications so they can be applied on startup
+
+## Learning
+
+- The table names are specified using the TableName function (see entities.go)
+- gorm.Model requires the basic columns, see 0001_init.up.sql
+- Migration scripts have the name structure `{version}_{title}.up.{extension}` and `{version}_{title}.down.{extension}`
