# ECC vs n8n

ECC and n8n share 3 technologies: SQLite, Anthropic, and OpenAI. ECC is written in Rust and n8n in TypeScript.

- [affaan-m/ECC](https://seerepo.com/r/affaan-m/ECC): The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.
- [n8n-io/n8n](https://seerepo.com/r/n8n-io/n8n): Fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities. Combine visual building with custom code, self-host or cloud, 400+ integrations.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: SQLite, Anthropic, OpenAI
- Only in ECC: None
- Only in n8n: Vue, Vite, Express, Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, Supabase, MySQL, MCP, Sentry, Kafka, PostHog

## Side by side

| | ECC | n8n |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 399,050 lines written, 153 code files | 5,238,068 lines written, 14,220 code files |
| Who writes it | 8.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, CodeRabbit, and Devin | 14.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and CodeRabbit |
| Activity | Last push November 2, 2026, 3,580 commits, 296,070 stars | Last push November 3, 2026, 26,041 commits, 209,435 stars |
| Tests | 465 test files. 18.3% of its code files have a test that imports them | 10,697 test files. 53.6% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
