I used to have a ton of issues with the Go MySQL driver - there was a specific version with specific settings I'd cargo-cult into all my projects along with comments explaining not to mess with them because I knew it was relatively stable. These days though it's genuinely pretty solid, haven't had a problem in a couple years. They've largely worked the kinks out.
