# flink vs nx

flink and nx share 5 technologies: OpenAI, org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib, Angular, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, and OpenTelemetry. flink is written in Java and nx in TypeScript.

- [apache/flink](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/flink): Apache Flink
- [nrwl/nx](https://seerepo.com/r/nrwl/nx): The Monorepo Platform that amplifies both developers and AI agents. Nx optimizes your builds, scales your CI, and fixes failed PRs automatically. Ship in half the time.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: OpenAI, org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib, Angular, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, OpenTelemetry

| Size | 2,869,317 lines written, 9,840 code files | 1,290,865 lines written, 3,323 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code | 1.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Amp, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 8, 2026, 38,159 commits, 26,458 stars | Last push November 7, 2026, 18,849 commits, 29,453 stars |
| Tests | 5,728 test files. 61.8% of its code files have a test that imports them | 1,691 test files. 39.1% 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.
