# airflow vs graphrag

airflow and graphrag share 7 technologies: FastAPI, azure-search-documents, azure-storage-blob, pyarrow, azure-identity, jinja2, and Pydantic. Both are written in Python.

- [apache/airflow](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/airflow): Apache Airflow - A platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows
- [microsoft/graphrag](https://seerepo.com/r/microsoft/graphrag): A modular graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system

| Size | 2,200,257 lines written, 4,596 code files | 51,789 lines written, 449 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Devin | 2.6% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 5, 2026, 41,804 commits, 47,376 stars | Last push November 2, 2026, 499 commits, 36,582 stars |
| Tests | 4,949 test files. 53.3% of its code files have a test that imports them | 129 test files |

- 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.
