Please share the code you used and the error you received.  
You can see a running example of using golang with ScyllaDB on ScyllaDB University.  
Here is the [first less](https://university.scylladb.com/courses/using-scylla-drivers/lessons/golang-and-scylla-part-1/) (part one out of three).

This is the code I came up with and I tried it and it doesn’t work because it doesn’t find it. [github.com/gocql/gocql/scyllacloud](http://github.com/gocql/gocql/scyllacloud)

package main

import (  
“fmt”  
“log”

```
"github.com/gocql/gocql"
"github.com/gocql/gocql/scyllacloud"

```

)

const (  
connectionBundlePath = “./build.yaml”  
)

func main() {  
cluster, err := scyllacloud.NewCloudCluster(connectionBundlePath)  
if err != nil {  
log.Fatalf(“Failed to create cloud cluster config: %s”, err)  
}  
cluster.PoolConfig.HostSelectionPolicy = gocql.DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy(“us-east-1”)

```
session, err := cluster.CreateSession()
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("Failed to connect to cluster: %s", err)
}

defer session.Close()

var query = session.Query("SELECT * FROM mykeyspace.mytable")

if rows, err := query.Iter().SliceMap(); err == nil {
	for _, row := range rows {
		fmt.Printf("%v\n", row)
	}
} else {
	log.Fatalf("Query error: %s", err)
}

```

}

Are you connecting to ScyllaCloud Serverless cluster (free trial)?  
If yes, you probably don’t have a fork replacement directive in your `go.mod`.

Add the following line to your project `go.mod` file.

```auto
replace github.com/gocql/gocql => github.com/scylladb/gocql v1.7.3

```

and run

```auto
go mod tidy

```

Then make sure the path to the bundle is correct, and your code should run fine.
