Description

Gorm has been updated: https://gorm.io/docs/v2_release_note.html

Release notes claim performance improvements. Since most processing within SPIRE Server comes down to either signing CSRs or doing DB transactions, it may be beneficial to upgrade and should be investigated.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the performance improvements in Gorm v2 release notes and compare with current usage in SPIRE Server. Focus on DB transaction paths.
