There's a variety of projects out there. gorilla/mux, chi, httprouter are all pretty commonly used for just defining routes. If you want a full on framework, gin and beego are also common. For the database (I'm unfortunately mainly familiar with postgresql related projects) there's pgx, sqlx, gorm, and then code generators like sqlc such as sqlboiler and entgo.

Golang encourages libraries and frameworks with much smaller surface, so there is indeed a boilerplate issue, but that's also an issue with golang as a whole.
