Driver github.com/lib/pq states that it is in maintenance mode. pgx offers built-in connection pooling and much more, and is actively maintained. The default URI postgresql:///?sslmode=disable will work out of the box with a unix socket connection, or one can be specified with e.g. -u 'postgres://postgres@:/?sslmode=disable&host=/var/run/postgresql' It's possible that some driver-specific options may vary, so this merits more testing. It should be possible to make it a CLI option and mark lib/pq deprecated rather than switching immediately, if that is deemed necessary.
